Framer is checking a new version of Blog Import, so its Marketplace page is offline for now. Need your blog moved before it's back? Email us and we'll help.

WordPress XML to Framer CSV

Choose the export file from your WordPress or Squarespace blog and download a CSV you can import into a Framer CMS collection. You get one row per published post, with the title, the old slug, the date, the excerpt, the post HTML, a cover image address, the author and the categories and tags, plus a :draft column.

The file is read in your browser and is never uploaded or sent anywhere.

Using the CSV in Framer

Framer’s CSV Import plugin reads this file. In your CMS, open Plugins and choose CSV Import. Framer’s guide to importing CSV data asks for one header per CMS field. The columns here are Title, Slug, Date, Excerpt, Content, Cover image, Author, Categories, Tags and :draft. A column named :draft decides whether a row comes in as a draft (true) or published (false). Framer’s page names no file size limit, so try a small sample first.

Not sure where to find the file? See the guides for WordPress and Squarespace. To see what an export holds before you convert it, use the blog export inspector. For the address of every image in the file, use the image list. Other sources have their own converters: Blogger, Ghost and Medium.
