Additionally, until you are 100% sure you have migrated everything, including all of your text, image, and video content, from Squarespace to your WordPress site, do not cancel your Squarespace hosting. Your site could be mistakenly deleted and irrecoverable.Exporting Your Squarespace Content
After you have installed WordPress, the next step is to export your content from Squarespace. As you begin to export your site from Squarespace, you will notice, that the controls and features you have for the export are somewhat limited. Depending on the types of content you have on your site, e.g., images, text, and video, only some of it will be exported. Because of how Squarespace is designed, it is impossible to export all types of content or files on your Squarespace site into a single ‘export bundle.’ Instead, their system will export an XML file.What Squarespace Export Include:
When you use the Export Your Site function inside of Squarespace, the export includes the following types of content from your site:- The layout Pages
- A blog Page, including all posts and comments
- The text Blocks
- The image Blocks
- Text from other blocks like the Embed Block, Twitter Block, and Instagram Block will export with minimum structure
- The gallery Pages
- The project Pages
What Squarespace Export Don’t Include:
- Other page types (including Album Pages, Cover Pages, Index Pages, Info Pages, Events Pages, Portfolio Pages, Products Pages, and Store Pages)
- Content in page-specific headers, footers, and sidebars.
- More than one Blog Page
- Folders
- Audio Blocks
- Product Blocks
- Video Blocks
- Drafts
- Style changes
- Custom CSS

Regrettably, powerful tho the WordPress Import Tool is, it isn’t sophisticated enough to import images from Squarespace sites. You’ll need to manually import them, but there is an automated way to do it, saving you a lot of time. You’ll need to install an older plugin – Auto Upload Images. Despite the age of the plugin, it works great, even with the latest release of WordPress. Step 1: To install the plugin in your WordPress Site, go to the Plugins Area on the left side of your wp-admin, then click Add New.Fixing Your Permalinks
Since you migrated your site to WordPress, you’ll want to make sure you don’t miss out on any traffic coming through using links to your old Squarespace website.

They also use a prefix, like post or post-1 in the post URLs. A typical blog post URL using Squarespaces default URL Structure Configuration looks like this:https://example-website.squarespace.com/post-1/2016/3/6/blog-title https://www.yourdomain.tld/blog-1/2016/3/6/blog-titleYour configuration should look like the one below:
/post-1/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/Then click save changes to store the settings. That’s a wrap! We hope this tutorial helped you migrate your website from Squarespace to WordPress.
