Key Features:
1. Easy 3-Step Process - Add the blog URL and recent blog post URL to scan and preview the content.
Note: If the iframe is blocked, the blog post preview will not be displayed but functionality will work.
2. Mapping Breakdown - Map the blog title, category/tag, featured images, published date, content, and author from the preview.
3. Review and publish.
Pre-checks:
Before you begin, ensure the blog has a sitemap for posts.
For example, for a blog at blog.abc.com, check blog.abc.com/sitemap.xml for a sitemap.
How Does It Work
Go to Sites > Blog
Navigate to New Post > Import Blog Post
Enter the blog URL and the last published blog post URL
Tip: After setup, you can revisit to see the "Import in Progress" status in the "Imported Content" section.
Map Content
Select the blog title, published date, author name, content, and category/tag
Note: If mapping is incorrect, you can manually select the CSS selector (reference: CSS Selectors).
Import Content
Once the scraping is complete (usually 10-20 minutes for 1,000 posts), you can import each post individually or in bulk. Note: All posts will initially be imported as drafts.
