Formatting Issues while Importing

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi!

    I’m new to WP, and I just imported a blog I have on Blogspot. However, the posts came badly formatted after import.

    How do I ensure default WP formatting for the imported posts so that the entire blog looks uniform?

    Please let me know if there is a method/editor to do this? Thank you very much.

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

    little you can do since blogspot and wordpress are disimilar inmore ways than one so either manually format them or live and let live.

    @parivrajak, first off can we have a link to the blog so that we can take a look at the problems?

    You can probably straighten up your imported posts with the following procedure though.

    First go to settings > writing in your dashboard and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and click “save changes.”

    Next open each post with formatting issues in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “update post.” In general that will take care of most formatting issues.

    Blogger has some strange code habits and their blogs produce some really shoddy HTML.
