What to Consider Before Wix to WordPress Migration?
Before making any significant change, you should do the necessary preparations to ensure your result as expected. Therefore, to best prepare for Wix to WordPress Migration, let’s take these elements into consideration.
Choose a WordPress hosting
Your WordPress hosting is the foundation of your online store. It’s where all your website’s files and data live, just like how your store needs a physical space to operate. Picking the right host ensures your website runs smoothly and delivers a great experience for your customers.
Here are some key criteria that you should note:
- Reliability: You want a hosting provider known for keeping your website up and running 24/7. Downtime means lost sales, so choose a company with a strong uptime record.
- Security: Your store likely collects customer information, so secure hosting is crucial. Look for a provider with features like automatic backups and malware protection to keep your website safe.
- Performance: A fast-loading website keeps customers happy. Choose a hosting plan with good server speed and resources to ensure your store loads quickly on any device.
- Customer support: Running a store can bring questions. Opt for a hosting provider with responsive and knowledgeable customer support to help you whenever needed.
Buy and register a new WordPress domain
Your domain name is your online address. It’s what customers will type in their browser to reach your store.
Here’s how to find the perfect domain name:
- Keep it short and memorable: Choose a domain name that’s easy to remember and spell. This will make it easier for customers to find your store online.
- Reflect your brand: Ideally, your domain name should be relevant to your store’s name or the products you sell.
- Availability: Before settling on a name, check if it’s available for registration. Most hosting providers offer domain registration services along with your hosting plan, making the process quick and convenient.
Remember, your domain name is your online identity, so take some time to choose one that reflects your brand and makes a lasting impression!
Back up Data On Your Wix Website
Before kicking off the Wix to WordPress migration, my advice is that you should back up your data on Wix. This action will ensure all your entities stay intact during and after the migration. This way, you can rewind your store to the original state in case of unexpected errors.
Currently, Wix provides Site History, a useful feature that automatically creates a backup for your site. If you accidentally make a change on your site, you can easily restore it to the previous version.
You can use Site History to backup Wix site
As a matter of fact, you are able to make a manual backup by duplicating your current website on Wix. We recommend you perform this manual backup to save the best version of the website as you need. Here are detailed steps to perform this process:
Step 1: Log in to the Wix dashboard and select the site you want to backup.
Login to Wix
Step 2: After selecting the site, click Site Actions then Duplicate Site
Duplicate site
Step 3: Name that version and select Duplicate.
Name the duplicated site.
After that, you can see your new site in My Sites
Your duplicated site
Please remember that some important data will not be backed up after the duplicating process such as store orders, contacts, invoices, and so on. You have to export them manually to a CSV file.
For example, we will guide you on how to export your product data on Wix manually.
Step 1: Select Store Product, then click on Product
Export products
Step 2: Select this highlighted symbol to export your Product.
Export products
Install and setup WordPress
After backing up all your crucial data, you will create a new WordPress store. Initially, you need to install WordPress. If you already have a host for your website and want to install WordPress manually, our tutorial video will help you proceed with it exactly:
However, the process may seem rather complicated to you. Therefore, we recommend that you have your WordPress site automatically installed by your hosting provider.
Currently, there are many hosting services that support you to do it like BlueHost, Cloudways, etc. You can visit your hosting provider’s website and easily perform a data backup following the instructions of this service provider.
Option 1. Migrate from Wix to WordPress by Using RSS Feed
The first method to transfer Wix site to WordPress is using RSS Feed. It will automatically duplicate all your blog posts and images on your new WordPress site.
Please note that this approach only works for older Wix blogs. Therefore, if you are on a newer version of Wix website, consider hiring an eCommerce migration expert to carry out the project. I will get back to this method later, so stay tuned!
Import blogs from Wix to WordPress
Before starting the transferring process, here are two essential steps you need to follow.
- Find your RSS Feed
Firstly, it’s important to locate your RSS feed. To do this, at the end of your Wix site’s URL, add /feed.xml. If the result returns a page full of code, RSS feed is still available on your Wix site.
Now, you can proceed to the next step.
- Save your RSS file
When the RSS page opens, right-click on that page and select Save as or press Ctrl+S / Command+S on your keyboard. It will be saved to your computer as a .xml file.
Now that all your posts are stored in your RSS feed file, it’s time to import blogs from Wix to WordPress.
- Navigate to your WordPress Admin and select Tools Import.
- In the RSS importer, click Run Importer.
- Upload your file by clicking Upload file and import.
- Go back to your Admin Dashboard and check if your posts have been transferred.
Import pages from Wix to WordPress
Unfortunately, the RSS feed method doesn’t work with pages. Therefore, with pages, you’ll need to convert Wix website to WordPress manually.
WordPress offers several page builders to help you build your page in no time. So, all you have to do is select a page builder that best suits your needs and recreate your page on WordPress.
Import images from Wix to WordPress
Since all your images are hosted in Wix, so migrating images from Wix to WordPress is impossible with the RSS Feed function. In this case, you might need to manually upload your images to WordPress.
Simply go to Media Add New and select the file that you want to import.
As you may see, migrating from Wix to WordPress using RSS Feed is quite limited. It only supports content import and leaves out the rest. Therefore, if you want to minimize the manual effort, opting for a migration service is highly recommended.
Option 2: Migrate from Wix to WordPress with LitExtension
Instead of spending your time and effort in migrating your data manually, you can choose LitExtension to automatically perform this process. LitExtension is an official solution recommended by WordPress, it will transfer all your data from Wix to WordPress seamlessly, accurately, and securely without interrupting your business.
