If you have blog post content already created through another hosting provider and want it to display on your Viviti site, you don't have to copy and paste the content into individual blog posts - you can import it directly into your Viviti blog! This is much quicker, more convenient and less hassle.

Note: Only Blogger and Wordpress blog content is supported currently. These are 2 of the most used blogging software suites, and we are working on supporting more in the future! If you feel we should be supporting your blogging platform, let us know!

Where to Find:

Blog post importing options can be found by clicking on the "Import" tab in the "Manage Posts" section of the Toolbar.


How to Use:

Just click on the appropriate logo in this area to get started.



Exporting your Blog Post Data:

Before you can import this content, it will need to be exported from your other blog software. This is typically done via the creation of a file that contains your blog post information, which you then direct your Viviti blog post to use in importing that content.

Wordpress: For information about how to export your existing Wordpress data, you can click here to find out more.

Blogger: In order to import your posts from Blogger, you will need to grant Viviti access to read your posts.

To do this, simply click the "Next" button you see after clicking the Blogger logo. This will send you to Google, who owns Blogger, asking for authorization. Once you have authorized Viviti, you will be returned and can continue the process.
