Merchants describe this app as a fast, reliable way to migrate and sync blogs into Shopify, especially from WordPress and other RSS sources. They highlight easy setup, dependable ongoing syncing, and support for large archives that boost SEO by keeping content on the store domain. Features like manual sync, canonical options, and tag editing are valued, and support is frequently praised as fast, patient, and highly helpful.

This app is better than anything I have found. Although it doesn't bring in all content from my blog sites it is still so much faster than importing all of my posts manually. It should be noted that any links will remain, and if they point to another page on the same site they're coming from it will be a very manual update if you're moving your whole site to shopify like I am. I'm very happy with this app and will be using it more in the future. Highly recommend.

Saved me a bunch of time - obviously you're still going to be relinking all the images & internal links by hand, but at least you get a jumping off point... I had issues because my source blog was a custom post type - I had to export, and then re-import it to "posts" in wordpress - then delete and reset the feed to make the app work. After that it worked fine.

The support received was prompt and friendly. Could do with a few more options... But better than the alternative.

We used BlogFeeder to import ~800 posts from our old Wordpress site. Pretty neat. The support was good (thanks Daniel !) and accomodating.

Tips if you have a whole Wordpress to import with many posts : during the validation of the feed, the app will most likely fall in timeout, due to Wordpress' duration of the RSS feed generation. To counter that, display the RSS feed in your browser, save it as a text file, upload it as a media on your Wordpress site and paste this new URL to the app. Will work like a breeze.

I have been using this application for a few months now. I have been waiting to leave a review to give it time and see how I like it.
I must say it does exactly what it says it does. It links in with no issues. Best of all if you are having a problem with the synchronizing you can sync it manually from the application in your shopify apps. Be patient, do not expect a synchronizing to happen at lighting speed. But it does do it quickly.

I will say if you use emoji's in your blog, they do not show up in the synchronizing to your shopify blog. This may be a future update they may add but at this time it does not show up when you view your blog from shopify.

Did everything it said it would do. Brought over all of my blog articles very quickly and easily, and allows me to make the Shopify articles canonical. I used it in conjunction with the "Excelify" app to push through a number of customizations, such as importing images, removing weird formatting issues (the result of Shopify not offering some of the same carousel/gallery features that wordpress does), and removing the "This article first appeared on [original blog url]" that the app appends to every article. The whole experience took a full day, which is much less than the 40 hours I had calculated it would take.

If you want to transfer your images from wordpress to Shopify, I would suggest downloading all of the images from WP into a file using an export app, uploading them into Shopify via their file manager, and then find + replacing the portion of the wordpress path with Shopify's path.

Hi,

I am sorry you had a bad 1st experience while importing the posts. From your description it looks like you missed setting things up correctly.

When you have a moment can you confirm one setting in your WordPress admin for me? WordPress sites set their RSS feed syndication settings to only send 10 posts by default.

To update your RSS settings, go to Settings > Reading and change 'Syndication feeds show the most recent' to allow all of your posts in your feed (BlogFeeder needs access to all posts to import them). At the same time, you may want to ensure that you allow the full text in your RSS feed.

This app created 18K duplicate posts and heavily damaged our SEO. Very limited amount of admin settings, was not easy for us to diagnose problem and forced us to remove app.

We use BlogFeeder to import blogs from WordPress - a much simpler solution when we moved to Shopify than re-writing 400+ blog posts! All good and the support is good too (although live chat would be helpful).

I was having an issue with my old site and I contacted technical support for advice. I received a quick answer and a solution and was able to bring all my old WordPress blog posts over perfectly. Great product!

Imported the blog posts easily enough, but doesn't provide any facility to import images from them. As a result, if you're migrating from the old blog you need to manually go through each post and manually upload each image to Shopify - which sort of defeats the purpose.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

The one thing to keep in mind is that due to a technical limitation in the Shopify API, we are unable to fully import the blog images into your Shopify account. This means that even though they display on your Shopify blog, they are being served from your external blog.
