  • Easy, elegant, simple... impressive!

    I've watched dozens of videos on how to import content from Google TakeOut, when it was as simple as downloading this plugin and uploading an .atom file. Thank you! You've made me a happy man.

  • Amazing plugin!

    Amazing plugin! It successfully migrated all my Blogger posts to WordPress with images, tags, and formatting intact. BTW Importer saved me hours of work highly, recommended for anyone moving from Blogger to WordPress.

  • Great tool

    The other plugins didn't worked at all with new atom.xml backup, this worked fine.

  • Works perfect for the new Blogger feed.atom

    I was looking for the solution for the new blogger backup format, Google Takeout, which will give you a feed.atom inside a .zip. The atom file works as the old .xml file, but all the other plugins either doesn't work or is on paid plans after importing 20 posts. ChatGPT doesn't even know how to handle this. That is when I found this perfect plugin and I just uploaded the feed.atom and it imported all the blogger posts for me. It imports about 80 posts at once after I click "Start Import". After it stops, I clicked on start import again and it continues at where it left off. It might cause a duplication for the last post, but I guess this is because of some kind of server configuration issue and I can deal with it. Thank you so much!
