    Hi,

    Can someone please help me, I failed even at the beginning.
    1. I am trying to create a website on wordpress, but I failed even at the first stage, because it leads me to build a blog instead of a classic website that I can have a homepage, and other pages linked to homepage and can be accessed via a navigator.

    2.I did my website a while ago on weebly, is there a way to migrate everything to wordpress?
    I tried https://weeblytowp.com/ but it didnot work, it says: ‘Could not find any content in your weebly blog to export. Did you enter the correct URL?’.

    Yes I did entered the correct URL. Also, mine is not a blog it is a standard website.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello there, we’re here to help. :)

    The sites created on WordPress.com is not just a blog. You can create a business site and even an e-commerce store (with an upgraded plan and plugin) using WordPress.com.

    Here’s the link to get you started: https://en.support.wordpress.com/start/

    If you wish to setup a website, you may scroll down until you see Set Up Your Website section. You can even sign up for the website building course at Take Our Website Building Course section.

    And regarding migrating your site from Weebly to WordPress.com, currently, there’s no direct import option according to this guide: https://transferto.wordpress.com/weebly/.

    However, I’ve added the modlook tag so that the Staff could advise you further on the Weebly transfer.

    Hi obenbayrak,

    I did my website a while ago on weebly, is there a way to migrate everything to wordpress?

    Content is imported to WordPress.com via .xml files but as far as I know, Weebly doesn’t provide the option to export one — although you may wish to contact them to ask if they can export one on your behalf.

    Without an .xml file, your Weebly feed will need to be imported to a platform which can import an RSS feed. One option here would be to create a temporary site using self hosted WordPress.org software and import the RSS feed from your Weebly site:

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-move-from-weebly-to-wordpress/

    Once your content has been imported there, it can be exported to .xml and then imported to obenbayrak.wordpress.com. Your Weebly site will need to remain active until the process has completed otherwise the content may not import properly.

    If you don’t have a great deal of content, copying it over manually may be an easier process.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.
