Você quer mudar do Weebly para o WordPress?
Sim, é possível migrar todo o seu conteúdo do Weebly para o WordPress sem contratar um desenvolvedor ou saber programar. Criamos uma ferramenta gratuita de importação do Weebly para o WordPress que faz tudo isso para você.
Neste artigo, mostraremos a você como migrar corretamente do Weebly para o WordPress (passo a passo).
Por que migrar do Weebly para o WordPress?
Escolher o WordPress em vez do Weebly realmente se resume a flexibilidade e controle.
O WordPress é como o tipo de plataforma da Web “faça tudo”. É de código aberto, o que significa que uma enorme comunidade de desenvolvedores aprimora constantemente seus recursos.
Você tem acesso a milhares de temas e plug-ins, o que lhe permite dimensionar e personalizar seu site como quiser. Não importa se você está configurando um blog simples ou um site de comércio eletrônico complexo, o WordPress dá conta de tudo.
O Weebly é fácil de usar e é ótimo se você quiser criar um site rapidamente e com o mínimo de esforço. No entanto, ele é limitado em termos de recursos de personalização e não tem todos os recursos de SEO que o WordPress oferece.
De acordo com nossa experiência, a maioria das pessoas não escolhe a melhor plataforma de blog quando começa. Em vez disso, é mais provável que você opte por uma das muitas soluções hospedadas, como o Weebly, porque ouviu falar que era fácil e gratuito.
Infelizmente, às vezes o WordPress é mal visto, e há muitos mitos sobre ele que simplesmente não são verdadeiros.
Quando você se dedica mais aos blogs e aprende sobre SEO, monetização, personalização, etc., tem aquele momento de ” ops”, pois percebe que fez a escolha errada.
Você descobre que o WordPress é de fato o melhor sistema de gerenciamento de conteúdo que existe.
E é aí que você começa a entrar em pânico, pois não quer que seu trabalho árduo seja desperdiçado.
Não se preocupe, isso não acontecerá. Já ajudamos centenas de pessoas a mudar do Weebly para o WordPress. Não, você não precisa saber nenhum código. Se conseguir seguir as instruções e apontar e clicar, você poderá transferir seu site do Weebly para o WordPress.
Sim, você levará cerca de uma hora para migrar adequadamente do Weebly para o WordPress, mas vale muito a pena.
Oferta gratuita de bônus: Como muitos de vocês pediram isso, agora estamos oferecendo o serviço gratuito de migração do Weebly para o WordPress como parte do nosso serviço gratuito de configuração de blog do WordPress. Isso significa que um dos membros da nossa equipe de especialistas fará toda a migração para você (100% grátis). Sim, você pode literalmente mudar do Weebly para o WordPress sem nenhum risco.
No entanto, se você gosta de aprender e fazer as coisas por conta própria, pode seguir nosso tutorial passo a passo abaixo.
Pronto? Vamos começar.
Tutorial em vídeo do Weebly para WordPress
Se você não gosta de tutoriais em vídeo ou deseja seguir seu próprio ritmo, continue lendo as instruções abaixo.
Etapa 1: Primeiros passos
Para iniciar um blog no WordPress, você precisa de duas coisas:
- Um nome de domínio (esse é o nome de seu blog, ou seja, wpbeginner.com)
- Uma conta de hospedagem na Web (é onde seu site fica na Internet)
Embora o WordPress em si seja gratuito, o domínio e a hospedagem na Web têm um custo (US$ 14,99 / ano para o domínio e US$ 7,99 / mês para a hospedagem na Web).
Felizmente, a Bluehost, um provedor de hospedagem oficial recomendado pelo WordPress, concordou em oferecer aos nossos usuários um nome de domínio gratuito e mais de 73% de desconto em hospedagem na Web.
Se, por algum motivo, você quiser outras opções, consulte nossa lista das melhores empresas de hospedagem WordPress.
Depois de configurar seu domínio e hospedagem, a próxima etapa é instalar o WordPress. Temos um guia passo a passo sobre como instalar o WordPress.
Depois de concluir a instalação do WordPress, você estará pronto para passar para a próxima etapa, que é transferir o conteúdo do Weebly para o WordPress.
Etapa 2: Exportar conteúdo de seu site da Weebly
No passado, era muito difícil para os usuários migrarem do Weebly para o WordPress porque não era fácil exportar dados do Weebly.
Decidimos resolver esse problema e desenvolvemos um importador gratuito do Weebly para o WordPress.
É uma ferramenta on-line gratuita que importa seu conteúdo do Weebly e o converte em um formato de importação compatível com o WordPress. Ela não faz nenhuma alteração em seu site existente do Weebly, portanto, é perfeitamente segura de usar.
Acesse o site do importador do Weebly para WordPress e insira o URL do seu site do Weebly.
Você será solicitado a fornecer seu nome e endereço de e-mail e a selecionar um formato de exportação.
A opção padrão é o formato WXR, e você não deve alterá-la, a menos que tenha um problema mais tarde.
Em seguida, você precisa escolher se deseja incluir páginas em seu arquivo de exportação. A opção padrão é “Yes” (Sim), e você não precisa alterar isso, a menos que realmente não queira exportar as páginas do Weebly.
Depois disso, você precisa clicar no botão “Export my Weebly Website”.
O importador do Weebly para WordPress agora buscará o conteúdo do seu site do Weebly e o converterá em um arquivo de exportação compatível com o WordPress.
Você verá um botão para baixar seu arquivo de exportação do Weebly. Você precisa clicar com o botão direito do mouse nele e selecionar “Salvar link como” no menu.
Isso fará o download do arquivo export.xml para seu computador.
Etapa 3: Importar o conteúdo do Weebly para o WordPress
Agora que você tem o conteúdo do Weebly em um formato compatível com o WordPress, é hora de importá-lo para o WordPress.
Faça login na sua área de administração e vá para a página Ferramentas ” Importar.
Você verá uma lista de importadores disponíveis para diferentes plataformas. Você precisa rolar para baixo até o WordPress e clicar no link “Install Now” (Instalar agora).
O WordPress agora buscará o plug-in do importador e o instalará em seu site WordPress sem recarregar a página.
Depois de instalado, você precisa clicar em “Run Importer” (Executar importador) para iniciá-lo.
Isso o levará à página do importador do WordPress. Vá em frente e clique no botão “Choose file” (Escolher arquivo) para selecionar o arquivo export.xml que você baixou anteriormente.
Em seguida, clique no botão “Upload file and import” (Carregar arquivo e importar) para continuar.
O importador do WordPress fará o upload e analisará seu arquivo de exportação. Na próxima tela, ele solicitará que você atribua autores.
Você pode importar um autor do seu site do Weebly, criar um novo autor ou atribuir todo o conteúdo ao seu usuário existente do WordPress.
Não se esqueça de marcar a caixa ao lado da opção “Baixar e importar anexos de arquivos”. Ela buscará imagens do seu site do Weebly na biblioteca de mídia do WordPress para que você possa usá-las posteriormente.
Agora você pode clicar no botão “Submit” (Enviar) para executar o importador. O WordPress agora importará o conteúdo do arquivo de exportação para o banco de dados do WordPress. Ele também tentará buscar imagens vinculadas aos posts e páginas do seu blog no Weebly.
Após a conclusão, você verá uma mensagem de sucesso.
Parabéns, você importou com êxito o conteúdo do seu blog do Weebly para o WordPress. Agora você pode acessar posts, páginas e categorias na área de administração do WordPress para ver se todo o seu conteúdo está lá. Além disso, verifique a biblioteca de mídia para ver as imagens importadas do seu site do Weebly.
Se o processo de importação falhar no meio, você sempre poderá executá-lo novamente. O importador é inteligente o suficiente para detectar conteúdo duplicado e ignorá-lo. Ele importará somente o conteúdo que não foi importado com êxito na tentativa anterior.
Etapa 4: Configuração de redirecionamentos
Se você estava usando um domínio personalizado em seu site do Weebly (como yoursite.com), precisará apontá-lo para o seu provedor de hospedagem do WordPress.
Primeiro, você precisa fazer login na sua conta do Weebly e ir para a página Domínios. Clique no nome de domínio que você deseja editar e, na página Domain Settings (Configurações do domínio), clique no botão “Change” (Alterar) ao lado da opção Nameservers (Servidores de nomes).
Na próxima tela, você precisa inserir os servidores de nomes do seu novo host do WordPress. No caso da Bluehost, esses são ns1.bluehost.com e ns2.bluehost.com.
Clique no botão “Save” (Salvar) para armazenar suas configurações.
As alterações no servidor de nomes podem levar algum tempo para se propagar pela Internet. Quando as alterações entrarem em vigor, os visitantes começarão a ver seu site WordPress.
Se você estiver usando um URL de subdomínio no seu site do Weebly (como http://example.weebly.com), veja como configurar o redirecionamento.
Faça login no painel de controle do Weebly e edite seu site. Em seguida, você precisa clicar em Settings (Configurações) e depois na guia SEO.
Agora, role para baixo até a opção de código de cabeçalho e adicione esta linha de código:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.yourdomain.com/">
Substitua yourdomain.com pelo nome de domínio de seu novo site WordPress.
Não se esqueça de clicar nos botões “Salvar” e “Publicar” para salvar suas alterações.
Agora você pode visitar seu site do Weebly, que será atualizado e redirecionado para seu site do WordPress.
Etapa 5: Configuração de Permalinks
Seu site do Weebly pode ter uma estrutura de URL diferente para posts e páginas de blog. Normalmente, é algo parecido com isto:
Para postagens de blog: http://example.com/blog/your-post-title/
Para páginas: http://example.com/page-title.html
Se você estava usando um domínio personalizado no seu site do Weebly, os usuários que visitarem uma postagem no seu antigo blog do Weebly verão um erro 404.
Veja como você pode garantir que os usuários sejam redirecionados para a publicação correta.
Você precisará acessar a página Configurações ” Permalinks. Role a tela para baixo e selecione a opção “Estrutura personalizada” e, em seguida, adicione /blog/%postname% no campo de texto ao lado.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Salvar alterações” para atualizar seus permalinks.
Agora, você precisa adicionar .html no final dos URLs de suas páginas do WordPress.
Você precisará instalar e ativar o plug-in Add Any Extension to Pages. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Após a ativação, você precisa acessar Settings ” Add Any Extension to Pages. Basta digitar .html nas configurações do plug-in e clicar no botão “Update Settings” (Atualizar configurações).
Agora, você precisa visitar a página Configurações ” Permalinks e clicar no botão salvar alterações para atualizar sua estrutura de permalink.
Etapa 6: Solução de problemas
Aqui estão algumas coisas que você pode precisar depois de transferir seu site do Weebly para o WordPress.
1. Importação ou substituição de imagens
O WordPress tentará importar imagens do seu site do Weebly para o WordPress durante a importação. No entanto, se suas imagens não forem baixadas para a biblioteca de mídia, será necessário importá-las. Consulte nosso guia sobre como importar imagens externas no WordPress para obter instruções detalhadas passo a passo.
2. Correção de erros no WordPress
Se estiver vendo alguns erros no seu site WordPress após a transferência, consulte nosso guia definitivo sobre erros comuns do WordPress e como corrigi-los.
3. Coisas a fazer após a instalação do WordPress
Se tudo correr bem, você estará pronto para personalizar seu novo site e aproveitar a enorme flexibilidade do WordPress. Veja nossa lista de coisas importantes a fazer após a instalação do WordPress.

Hi I am just beginning this process and understand I transfer the nameservers as the final step, but I can’t seem to find on my weebly
‘Click on the domain name that you want to edit and then on domain settings page click on the change button next to nameservers option’
I go into the weebly site I want to move over, click on settings and within those no options for nameservers, am I looking in the right place?
WPBeginner Support
Did you purchase your domain name from another location? That could be why the option is not in Weebly

Hi, I am wanting to transfer my weebly posts to Wordpress. I am interested in following this information to transfer my weebly site to Wordpress but I am lacking tech and coding skills. If I go through with the import do I then crest more content through weebly or Wordpress? Does it completely get rid of weebly. I purchased my domain through weebly I believe
WPBeginner Support
If you wanted to transfer the site then you would create your new content on the new WordPress site after following the tutorial. This guide will redirect users to your new site using WordPress but you will still have access to the Weebly content from your admin end.
Administrador
Susan
Hi, this may be a basic question but I like the look of my website on Weebly. Does the transfer keep the framework and look of the website? Or does it mean I have to find a new wordpress template to display the content.
Thanks
WPBeginner Support
You would need to find a new theme for your site as it does not transfer the look of your site. There are page builder plugins you can use to recreate your current design if you wanted.

We used your tool to export blog data from Weebly and then import into Wordpress. It seemed to work fine but with one major exception: the blog titles did not import.
Do you have advice on a fix? Should we try to import again (over existing blog data) or manually enter all the titles to each blog post (about 120 blog posts)?
WPBeginner Support
You may want to try recreating the export file to ensure it didn’t have a hiccup and then reimporting.
Administrador

So, what if the Weebly site is one of the ones that are offered through HostGator and the WordPress I want to use is also on HostGator. Will the tool work in that instance?
WPBeginner Support
If you’re using the same host then you could set up a staging site to set up the new site while the old site is active: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-staging-environment-for-a-wordpress-site/
Administrador

I read through the article, and noticed you hadn’t addressed comments. Do the comments also get imported, through the Weebly default comment box. Or is that one of the things the importer doesn’t do?
It’s important for me to know, as I recently signed up with Weebly and didn’t realise how lame their comments section for blogs were. I’m deciding whether I should use Disqus instead of the default – as it seems to have more options, as far as commenting goes. But I wouldn’t switch, if I knew the WP importer, could only import my default comments. If at all???
WPBeginner Support
The exporter should include your comments on your site, if you wanted to test it you can create a local installation using:

Hi there. I first want to say that I used this guide successfully to move from weebly to wordpress (after disabling ssl to export weebly data), so thanks!
I have a domain related question.
I told bluehost that I own my domian ieltstutors.org, though Im building my wordpress site on a temp domain given by bluehost.
Am I right in saying that after I have finish building my WP site, all I need to do is change my weebly nameservers to bluehost? Do I then just go to bluehost and press “transfer to bluehost”?
Is there a way to do this so that the site doesn’t go down?
Thanks for all your help!
WPBeginner Support
When you are ready you would want to change the domain’s nameservers to BlueHost and then update your site’s url to the correct domain and use a tool like the one from our article here:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-update-urls-when-moving-your-wordpress-site/
You should also be able to reach out to BlueHost to help you update your domain if you wanted.

I’m having issues downloading the WXR version of my Weebly site. I’m getting the “Could not find any content in your Weebly blog to export. Did you enter the correct URL?” Message.
Am I missing something? It’s a full website I want to migrate, no blog attached to it. Could that be the reason I’m getting an error? I’m looking to move a few sites any insight would great.

If I already have a Weebly site with a domain through Bluehost, is switching it to WordPress easier? At one point my website was giving a large error and the site was unaccesible because both Weebly and WordPress were trying to work on the website at the same time. We changed to Weebly for simplicity, but now I would really like to move us to Wordpress so that we have the ability to customize far more than what we have right now.
Thanks!
WPBeginner Support
The difficulty would be due to wanting to install WordPress in the same location as your current site. You can create an installation on your local computer: https://www.wpbeginner.com/how-to-install-wordpress/#installlocal
and once you set up your site there, you can overwrite the site on your host using: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-from-local-server-to-live-site/

More than likely the exporter is having an error due to how much content is on the site. If you reach out using our contact form we should be able to help.

Hi there! What if I have bought my domain through Weebly and I want to keep this same domain with my new wordpress site? I’m not whether or not to tell bluehost I “have a domain” already or not, because I no longer want to be affiliated with Weebly at all, but I want my same domain name and it’s through them. Completely lost at how I should go about this. Thanks for the help!
WPBeginner Support
You would let BlueHost know you already have a domain and then you would transfer your domain to BlueHost once you are ready
Administrador
jenn
Is it completely necessary to add the .html for redirects? It is not on the original wix urls.
Thanks
WPBeginner Support
It would be for if you have pages, posts to not end in .html but any pages you had on Weebly would need the .html added to prevent errors with redirection.
Administrador
Jacky
Thank you for this great tutorial. When I click on Domains, I don’t see the screen Edit Nameservers. Is it because my domain is with GoDaddy? In that case, would I have to edit that on GoDaddy? Thank you so much!
WPBeginner Support
Hi Jacky,
Correct, if you purchased your domain through another registrar such as GoDaddy then you would need to edit the nameservers through them rather than Weebly
Administrador
Jacky
Thank you! I have my blog with weebly using my .com domain. When you say transfer files, does that deactivate the weebly site or is it just just a copy of the files? I mean I want to copy the weebly files to wp, but i want to leave my weebly site live while i build the new wp. Once i finish building it, then i’ll move my domain to wp.
WPBeginner Support
It creates copies of your content, it does not remove your content

How long it takes to transfer and unluck a domain form weebly to another host.

With any domain registrar, you would need to wait 60 days from when it is first purchased. After that, you would need to reach out to Weebly for their specifics

This did nothing for me. After importing to wordpress, nothing has changed on it. Stock site still in effect.

After clicking the ‘Export my Weebly Website’ button, it changes to ‘Generating Export File’. On the bottom left side of my screen ways it says, ‘Waiting for weeblytowp.com’. After a few minutes, I get a message that says ‘504 Gateway Time-Out’. Is this because my Weebly site is too large? Or do you think this could be a technical difficulty?
WPBeginner Support
Hi Carissa,
This could be due to a large site. You can try again in a few mins. If it still doesn’t work then try to save some of your Weebly content as Drafts and then try to export.
Administrador
Carissa
That’s what I was afraid you were going to say. Unfortunately, the bulk of the content are pages which you can’t put into draft mode on Weebly (that I’m aware of). Do you have a link that I can pay someone to do this for me? I don’t care about making it pretty (I can do that), I just need to download the Weebly site. I hope this question makes sense?

Thanks for the guide and tool. I’m trying to export a Weebly blog and am getting the ‘no content’ error message.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

I have a domain that I purchased through Weebly, and I have designed a new site with wordpress.org.. and now I can’t figure out how to use my weebly domain for my wordpress site. The Weebly people said I need the DNS… I don’t know what that is
WPBeginner Support
Hi Rachel,
Your new host where you are hosting WordPress.org will provide you DNS server details. They usually look like this:
ns1.yourhost.com
ns2.yourhost.com
Once you know what DNS servers are used by your host, you can edit your domain settings in Weebly and point it to your new host.

Disabling the SSL really worked.

Jo
Hey, so I built my site, free in Weebly, and have my bluehost account. I tried using your importer but the URL Weebly provided is HTTPS not HTTP…. is that because I didn’t purchase anything from Weebly? When I run the importer tool it says that it can’t find any content on the weebly URL.
So appreciate your advice on this!

Hi, I am extracting my weebly site from ipage, which seemed to work, then imported it to wordpress following the instructions, but I can’t see it to see what it looks like. The home button at the top of the dashboard says ss_site_title when I click on it, it goes to the weebly site, how do I see what the wordpress looks like before I make it live?
WPBeginner Support
Hi Karin,
We are not sure what you mean. If you have successfully imported your Weebly content in WordPress, you will see it under ‘Posts’. It is possible that your domain name is still pointing to your Weebly website. In that case, you will need to change your domain name settings from your Weebly account and point it to your iPage hosting account by changing the DNS server settings.

Hey there! I’m working on moving a client from Weebly to Wordpress but i’m running into an issue with the Weebly to Wordpress importer. I’m getting an error from the converter that is saying no blog content was found. The blog in question has 13 posts and the URL is correct. tried with both the root url and the blog extension but it can’t seem to find any posts. Are there any troubleshooting options to figure out why the converter isn’t finding the posts?
Reka
Hi Kylen,
try to disable the SSL certification under Weebly settings and republish the site. After that the URL will start with http instead of https. Run the converter on the http URL. It worked for me, it might do so for you as well.

A comment on this thread indicates that the exporter will only work if the domain is also registered on Weebly, is this the case, and if so is there a workaround?

This is brilliant! Thanks so much. Everything transferred except for some images. I can deal with those.
NAME SERVERS: My only problem came when I tried your instructions for domain name servers. These instructions are only for those who have bought domains through Weebly. If you haven’t bought your domain through Weebly, you will not see any domains page on your account. This is important! Apparently, you must go to your outside domains registrar and make the name server changes there. I was told this by Weebly. Note: I haven’t made the name server changes to my domain registrar yet.
*So can you confirm this procedure? Many people purchase their domains elsewhere, and these instructions won’t work for us, because we don’t have a domains page in Weebly.

Hi Sarah,
For users who purchased their domain elsewhere, they will need to login to their account on their domain registrar website to change nameserver and other settings.

Every time I download the export.xml file, it tells me that it is too big, its always 2.17 or 2.27 MB and it needs to be less than 2MB. If i don’t select pages its still too big. and if i choose RSS option it won’t let me upload it because its not a WXR into wordpress.
how do i make it smaller? i am unsure how to draft or unpublish parts of my site without doing it manually.
WPBeginner Support
Hi Finn,
There are two things that you can do.
1. You can increase the file upload size limit in WordPress.
2. You can split the XML file to make it smaller.

Hi,
Is there a way to import products from my Weebly e-commerce shop to Woocommerce (Wordpress) using this tool? I am very desperate as I have over 400 digital products that I need to transfer. I am hoping there is a way to do this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Will this work also if the weebly site have a store ?
Thank you

Oh, how I wish this had worked. but like most people in this thread, I too received the error message “Could not find any content in your weebly blog to export. Did you enter the correct URL?” Yes, the website content is online, active and working. I had been using Chrme to attempt this with no results, so I tried it in Firefox as well, which also gave no results, the same error message and took even longer. Too bad; this would be really valuable if it just did what was designed to do.

This tutorial is fantastic, but I’ve hit a bump in the road. When I click to “Export my Weebly website” i’m directed to a blank page. Not sure what I could be doing wrong. Thanks for making this video.

Hi Kathleen,
Once you are redirected, you need to wait while the script runs in the background and prepares the export file. Once ready, it will be automatically begin downloading.

I did everything as suggested but not all pages came through and – most important – the visual layout didn’t came through.
I tried to import my weebly CSS to WP but I get the error :
“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
And it’s true
It only has a “main_style.css” and if I try to rename it to “style.css” I get another error:
“The package could not be installed. The style.css stylesheet doesn’t contain a valid theme header.”

Hi Boka Mark Szasz,
Unfortunately you cannot use the same website design on WordPress. You will have to use a WordPress theme for that.

I recently switched from Weebly to Wordpress using the instructions above. I’ve tried a few different wordpress themes, and most (including the first I tried) has, what I think was my old menu on weebly, as static links in the header, running over the regular stuff, and won’t go away no matter what I change in the theme settings. I have no idea how to fix this!

I also had trouble getting my website to transfer, but once we disabled the SSL, (a security measure to protect the site), published the site without SSL (the s in https was removed), and then used the new URL, the importer worked fine.
Now my issue is trying to change my domain host. When I go to the Domains page on my Weebly account, I don’t see a domain name to click on. I see only “Transfer a Domain” (to Weebly) or “Register a Domain.” Since I already have my own domain name that I want to keep, I don’t know how to proceed. The choice I need is not there. Can you help?

I had the same problem and found out via Weebly chat that I had to do this with my domain registrar, not Weebly. So directions in this tutorial are only for those who bought domains with Weebly.
