Wix to WordPress Importer

This tool downloads blog posts from Wix site and saves them as WordPress eXtended RSS XML format. This allows them to be imported into WordPress using WordPress Importer plugin. It handles posts and any images to import a clean post.

WordPress Requirements

In order to import the media files and retain image links correctly into WordPress and retain the pathing correctly, you need to ensure Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders in WordPress' Settings > Media is disabled. This can be re-enabled after you have imported your posts.

Configuration

Create configuration and save to JSON file. For example:

{
  "source": "https://wixsitedomain.com",
  "destination": "https://wordpressdomain.com"
}

If you're WordPress site is on a shared host, there can be timeouts imposed for the import actions as they are blocking on the server-side. In this case, it's better to batch your posts into separate files that you can import one at a time. For this case you can specify a batchSize. This is the number of posts that will be contained in an output WXR file.

{
  "source": "https://wixsitedomain.com",
  "destination": "https://wordpressdomain.com",
  "batchSize": 25
}

Running

Run the importer using npx:

npx wix-to-wordpress-importer -c config.json
