  I would like to move my website and blog over on wix to wordpress. How do I do this without losing all of my content?

  Hi @unitedstatesofmama,

  Wix is a little bit complicated, but it’s not impossible to do.

  In order to import all your content without losing anything, you need a file which is compatible with the WordPress importer tool.

  Unfortunately, Wix doesn’t have that, so you need to create it. To create this file, you need to convert your Wix data into a blog version (such as Blogger) which is compatible to the WordPress importer tool.

  I found this article on the Wix Support page, I hope it’s helpful.

  I think you should directly ask Wix if they can create the .xml file for you, otherwise you may need to retrieve all your data manually.

  Let me know if all makes sense to you and if you have any more questions :)
  Cheers!

  Ooops, it looks like the link for the Wix support page didn’t work.
  Here it is again: https://www.wix.com/support/html5/ugc/77fff156-467b-4083-8cc8-2f3a32e1711d/b8255a33-312a-4921-8bae-e3ca6284c49b
