    Hi! I have a blog with a free plan on WordPress for almost 5 years. Let’s say it is abc. wordpress. com
    Now, I want to change my blog name to xyz. com and I want to migrate my content from WordPress to Wix without losing any data or followers.
    As per my research, I need to do the following steps.

    1. Buy a domain – xyz. com
    2. Export content from WordPress
    3. Go to Wix blogs and import content
    4. Site redirect on WordPress – 301 redirect

    Can anyone verify these steps and let me know if I’m on the right track or not? Please let me know if I’m missing something or messing something!
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

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

    Hi there,

    That is basically correct. You can set up your domain with WIx directly, or purchase it with an outside company like GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc. instead.

    For export instructions see: https://wordpress.com/support/export/

    To set up a redirect from yoursite.wordpress.com to yoursite.com (on Wix) you will want to follow these steps: https://wordpress.com/support/site-redirect/

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
