How To: Import your iWeb Blog to WordPress

By Dan Hinckley

108 responses. »

iWeb, Apple’s website creation application that comes with each new Apple computer is designed to allow users to quickly create websites and blogs. While the process is quick and simple it also lacks some of the more complicated features that you see in many blog sites today.

If you’ve created an iWeb blog but want to add features and a bit of complexity to your site, moving to WordPressmay be just what you’re looking for.

WordPress is one of the most popular free website and blogging software options that allows you to create custom blogs with all the features you like. Additionally, setting up WordPress so that it is easily indexed by Google and other search engines is easy, something that iWeb has never done well.

The rest of this article will walk you through the process of moving your blog from iWeb to a new WordPress install.

SETTING UP WORDPRESS

Before you move your site to WordPress you need to get it installed on web server. You can download the files you need to then upload and customize to your webserver at wordpress.org.

If you don’t have a domain or website up and running yet and want to host your site on WordPress you should consider taking advantage of our FREE WORDPRESS INSTALLATION service that we’re offering for a limited time.  We’ll get you up and running in 24 hours so you can start importing your iWeb Blog to WordPress.

After you’ve downloaded the file and want to install WordPress yourself you can follow the instructions below:

“Here’s the quick version of the instructions, for those that are already comfortable with performing such installations. More detailed instructions follow.

  1. Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven’t already.
  2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
  3. Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
  4. Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details.
  5. Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:
    • If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
    • If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), rename the directory wordpress to the name you’d like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the WordPress installation in a subdirectory called “blog”, you should rename the directory called “wordpress” to “blog” and upload it to the root directory of your web server. Hint: If your FTP transfer is too slow read how to avoid FTPing at : Step 1: Download and Extract.
  6. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser.
    • If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
    • If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php

That’s it! WordPress should now be installed.”

The most difficult process of the installation is setting up the database that will store all your blog data for you, but your webhosting provider should be able to assist you if following the guide linked to above is not enough information.

Once you’ve finished installing WordPress you’ll need to get ready to to import your iWeb Blog entries.

PREPARE WORDPRESS FOR AN iWEB IMPORT

Now that you’ve finished installing wordpress you’ll need to navigate to the wordpress login page and login with the admin account created for you during setup. Once you’ve logged in, I suggest creating another account with your “Posting” name so that articles you publish in the future will be listed as something you created.

On the WordPress Management page, navigate to Tools and then click Import in the drop-down list that appears below tools. You’ll see that there are a number of other blogging software tools that wordpress lists as options for imports but that iWeb is not included.

Fear not, one option that is listed will allow you to import all of the articles you’ve previously created in iWeb. But before we do that we need to make sure that we have the iWeb files ready for import into WordPress.

PREPARING iWEB FILES TO IMPORT TO WORDPRESS

Since you’ve been using iWeb for your previous blogging efforts you you’ve already created a number of posts for your blog. To prepare those posts to be imported into WordPress you need to export your iWeb site to a folder.

  1. Open iWeb
  2. Select the Blog Site you plan to import into WordPress
  3. Click File and then Publish to a Folder
  4. Save the folder to your desktop so that you can access it easily.

Like most new website applications, iWeb has built in RSS support. We’ll use the RSS file that is created in iWeb to import your blog into WordPress. Since we published to a folder on the desktop we can find the RSS feed for the blog in that folder.

IMPORT YOUR iWEB BLOG TO WORDPRESS

Navigate back to the admin page for your new WordPress Install and follow these steps:

  1. click again on Tools and then Import.
  2. Select RSS
  3. Click Browse next to choose a file
  4. Select your desktop and then the folder you exported your iWeb Blog to
  5. Open the folder, and then the Blog Folder inside it.
  6. Locate the rss.xml file, select it, and click open
  7. select upload file and import

At this point wordpress shall import the posts 1 at a time and show the results with “1. Importing Post… Done” for each post in the rss feed file you have for your blog. When this has finished click the View Site link on the WordPress Admin site and you’ll see the results of your import from iWeb into WordPress.

NOTE: Not all formatting and image link structure always imports correctly. You may have to adjust the format of some of your posts to make them look the way you like. Additionally some picture images or links may not have transfered over completely and you’ll have to update their internet linkage.

CONCLUSION

Even though everything doesn’t import across with the same formatting that you set in iWeb, this is a way to import your iWeb blog to WordPress so that you can make your site more Search Engine (SEO) friendly and have additional customizable features. Be prepared to make adjustments to links and images in addition to restructuring the format of some of your posts. These adjustments are often just a few clicks from the WordPress Admin page.

    I tried importing my iWeb blog entries as you discussed. Everything worked fine except each entry was truncated in my WordPress blog. WordPress only would publish the first two lines for each iWeb entry imported.

    Also, WordPress only imported those rss.xml entries for March 2008 and April 2008, because I only have 2 archive folders in my WordPress blog: March and April 2008 (I installed WordPress onto my web host server last Friday). My blog entries in iWeb go back to October, 2006.

    Any ideas as to how I might resolve this problem?

    Many thanks.

    Johnny,

    Can you open and view your rss.xml file and see if the complete description is included in that file?

    I'm not sure why the rss.xml did not include everything past March 08. I'll have to look at it, but it may require some automator task to combine the xml file for each entry in your blog "entries" folder.

    Also, which version of wordpress are you using?

    In response to those that are having their posts truncated on import:

    It seems that conversation is having trouble with some characters in your posts..

    "Its a more confusing problem with multiple players (os, db, php/perl, MT and WP all have their idea of what they want for character encoding. The instructions strongly suggest to let WP default to UTF-8. Odds are high the the Typepad export is ISO-8859 (even worse, is Window variation of that)

    There are programs that will convert character sets so you could run the whole import file thru them which is what I do when importing into WP from MT. 'iconv' if have linux or os x."

    Any thoughts on how to export the post comments from iweb and import them into WordPress?

  15. Dan

    May 7, 2008 at 12:40 am

    comments are a bit more tricky as they're not stored in any file created in iWeb itself… I'll investigate and let you know if I find anything.

  16. Steve

    July 15, 2008 at 12:37 pm

    It's the fact that 'comments' don't come over too that is keeping my wife from jumping to WordPress (I'm already a convert.)

    Wow, if someone could write a iWeb to WP converter, people would jump ship in droves (IMO), especially with all the problems iWeb blogs are having with the whole "MobileMe" conversion and Apple's mis-handling of loyal customers.

    Albelara, If you note in the original post:

    "NOTE: Not all formatting and image link structure always imports correctly. You may have to adjust the format of some of your posts to make them look the way you like. Additionally some picture images or links may not have transfered over completely and you’ll have to update their internet linkage."

    The images do not port over directly and may require additional attention.

  18. abelara

    July 30, 2008 at 4:28 pm

    it was only doing the most recent 10 entries, then i realized that is the limit i put on the RSS tab in the inspector.

    so i made a copy of the whole iWeb file, raised the limit to the highest possible (50), then did the export/import. then i deleted those first 50 entries in iWeb and the re-exported/imported with the next 50 entries until i got them all imported.

    now contemplating manually transferring comments, unless i find an automated method.

  19. abelara

    July 30, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    hmmm, the images didn’t port over?

It does not have to be exactly the same, but I am trying to be different and IWEB while good is not getting the job done because of the search engine problem and lack of meta tags.

    Am I wrong on this?

    Hi, Your instructions seem to be what I'm looking for, however, I want to import my whole iWeb created site into WordPress to be able to modify by a PC. Is this the same process as just the blog? I would also like suggestions for a hosting service that is VERY user friendly to help me set this all up, preferably with phone support. I tried using servage and it was terrible! Thanks!!

    Hi everyone,

    I am quite new to all of this, but I created a blog on IWeb, and I have a few questions, because a few problems

    1) even though I check the "allow comments" when I post an article, there is no option for posting comments. Why?

    2) Just because of all the problems you guys are mentioning about Iweb blogs, I started transferring some articles on WordPress. My problem is that the pictures on IWeb were very bright, clear, the colors really deep. When I look at them on WordPress, they look a lot different, less colors, they're fuzzy, and actually they're ugly. Do you have any idea where this come from?

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Silvia

    • Dan

      December 18, 2008 at 10:36 pm

      Silvia, To include comments in iWeb you need to have a Mobileme account with Apple and I believe host the site with them.

      Reasons that images may not appear as clear in WordPress may have to do with how you're inserting them into your posts and how much resizing or adjustment the WordPress engine needs to do with those images. '

      Try pulling the image in with an image link, or resize the image before you post it to your article to the size you want it to be.

    Unless someone has already converted your theme by manually building the code you won't be able to use it with wordpress.

    If it is a high priority you could try asking some wordpress theme designers to make the adjustment for you but they may require payment.

    —-Firstly, I cannot find the choice on the "manage" page to import my site.

    —-When I try to upload my folder under the "wordpress import" choice, it will only allow me to upload a file, not a page.

    March 26, 2009 at 2:24 pm

    Tati – I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but you can't "post" an article in WordPress and have it appear in your iWeb site. This tutorial is for moving from iWeb to WordPress, and using WordPress as your blogging software moving forward.

    The only way you would be able to include content from WordPress in an iWeb site is if you embedded an iFrame with HTML snippet of your wordpress site onto your iWeb site. I wouldn't suggest doing that as the content display may be less than expected.

  37. Tati

    March 29, 2009 at 4:41 pm

    I realize what you said so I end up useing the iFrame.

          It still is showing up on WordPress.org based sites. It will not be available on WordPress.Com sites as they do not let you import via RSS. You'll need to host WordPress on your own servers/hosting provider to import via RSS.

    1. I have a blog as part of my site. Do I need have to save on a folder on my desktop all the site? If it's only the blog, I couldn't find the way.

    2. After importing to WordPress, I have to upload the site again to my FTP?

    3. In the future, I have to feed my blog from WordPress or from iWeb?

    Thank you for your help.

      Not exactly sure what you're asking. WordPress will have its own blog platform. You'll be able to add content to it and won't need iWeb after you've migrated your site to WordPress.

    Dan, You seem to be very knowledgeable and helpful on this topic. I have perhaps a dumb question. We built our site AND blog on iWeb, ran into some relatively minor obstacles and had someone code those. Unfortunately, once he uploaded his revised files we can no longer access the site and make changes through iWeb. Frustrating and completely non-user friendly for us. We would like to move over to something like WordPress so your post is timely however when you use "site" and "blog" do you mean a blog that is a website? We have both a website and a blog and would want to migrate both. Is that possible with what you are describing?

    Thanks.

    Thank you for the outstanding information you have provided in this post. I have followed the steps but nothing has changed. I am trying to upload a iweb page I have made to the static front page, maybe this is a bit different. I look forward to hearing back and will share your blog!

      if you put your index.html file and all its associated files in your wordpress folder then it should load the index.html file.. Then you can just link to your wordpress blog.

      Or get a custom designed site from this company to have a site that is easy to manage and looks just the way you want it to.

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks! It worked for me for about 10 posts. How do I get the rest of my posts from my iweb? Do I have to copy and paste?

    Thanks!

      Try deleting the 10 posts from iWeb that already moved to WordPress and then repeat the process.

    Хай форумчане! Не смог найти где еще можно на форуме узнать и потому надеюсь на вашу помощь тут. Кто нибудь знает где в россии можно достать шикарный китайский планшетик TMD MID A816 (он еще как Herotab A816 известен). Планшет по сути аналог Galaxy Tab P1000, но китайский и соответственно немного дешвеле. Однако с Гонконга долго ждать да и с Paypal связываться не хочу. Глянуть на планшет тут можно :TMD MID A816. Кто может помочь – пишите в ЛС или на мыло! Заранее огромное спасибо!

    This method of importing your iWeb blog to a WordPress blog will not work because the rss.xml file only contains your last few blog posts.

    If you want to import your iWeb blog to a WordPress blog, you can use this tool which imports all iWeb blog posts and comments.

    Thanks for these instructions, and thanks to Abelara for the tip about setting the number of posts in the RSS feed in iWeb before importing the rss.xml file. My partner has an iWeb site, and we've been looking for a way to port the iWeb blog posts to a new WordPress site. I did some testing, and it looks like this'll do the trick.

    WordPress is the best if you are a noob. But if you are a noob you probably shouldnt create your own online business.
    eZ publish is in my opinion much more in debt and robust, and blows both joomla and wordpress out of the water.

    When I follow this procedure and import the rss.xml file, only 5 entries are imported. If I try to import archive.xml and entries.xml, only the blog title is imported, and no text, because the rss file contains links to html pages, and not the actual blog entry

      You may have to manually upload them, but all of those can be included in a WordPress site.
