You can import your content from Wordpress directly into your Squarespace site. If you have not yet created a Squarespace site, you can get started here.

Step 1 - Access the Import/Export Settings

First, click the  icon in the Site Manager to enter the Settings area and select the Import/Export tab.  

Step 2 - Import Wordpress Content

Next, click the Import Site button in the upper right corner.

Select Wordpress from the grid of options. 

You can import your Wordpress content in two ways: using your Wordpress login credentials or using a Wordpress Import file. 

Importing with Wordpress Login Credentials

Within the Basic tab, enter your Wordpress URL, Wordpress Login and Password, then click the Begin Import button to import your Wordpress content.

Importing with Wordpress Import File

Login to your Wordpress site. Within your Wordpress dashboard, go to the Tools area and select Export. Then, click Export under Export Option.

Select the Wordpress content you would like to export and click the Download Export File button to export and download the Wordpress XML file to your computer. 

Within the Advanced tab on Squarespace, upload your Wordpress XML file. Click the Begin Import button to import your Wordpress content. 

A progress bar will indicate that your Wordpress content is importing to your Squarespace site. A Success message will appear once the import is complete. 

NOTE: Wordpress version 3.2 or higher is required to import your content. Wordpress has a great FAQ for updating your site version here. 

Step 3 - Enable your Imported Content

Click the  icon to enter the Content Manager. Scroll to the Not Linked section to view your imported Wordpress content. 

Select your imported Wordpress pages and click the Enable button.

NOTE: You must enable your imported Wordpress pages to use these on your site and for all of your Wordpress images to appear. The steps for enabling a page can be found here. 

Step 4 - Move Imported Content to your Navigation (Optional)

If you would like your imported Wordpress pages to appear in your main navigation, drag and drop your Wordpress pages from the Not Linked section to your Navigation section. 

Step 5 - Preview Imported Content (Optional)

Click the  icon to enter the Preview of your site. Depending upon the template you are using and the Wordpress content you import, it will appear similar to this:
