Blogger Importer Plugin: How To Stop Importing Images And Links?

Blogger To WordPress migration is very common and also a very important and highly risky thing to do. A slight mistake can make your blog zero from hero. So we strongly recommend to do some tweaks to save your past work and don’t loose anything that you have from visitors to backlinks, SEO to organic traffic etc.

As we shared in our previous article that For Newbies: How To Transfer Blogger Blog To WordPress?, you have to follow all that step but you have to do the following first in order to secure PageRank, Backlinks, SEO, Organic Traffic, Visitors etc.

Now the biggest question is How to do this? We have reasonable answer. For the first question, the answer is that if your blog will have thousands of images then this plugin will be stuck during importing images and you will not able to import your images nor end this plugin work at mid. When we migrate our Blogger blog then we had thousands of images and we got stuck on this step. We tried again and again but always got stuck in images. So we skip this option and then all was fine. For the second question, we mentioned earlier that you have to keep your Blogger blog posts permalink same in WordPress blog so you have to  skip this importing links to otherwise it will change all your posts permalinks in inner article body that hurt SEO. Personally we also skipped this step.

Now without any more preface, here we move to tutorial. Just after installing Blogger Importer Plugin as we described in Blogger To WordPress, Do the following steps. After clearing the following steps, do the rest as described on our Blogger To WordPress. There you will not see importing Images and Links so it means that you did right.
