  I currently use Square-space, I do not like how the site search block does not pick up meta data.

  I’d like to see how it works on WordPress before I spend any money or transfer. How can I test my site on WordPress (Import my sqaurespace site), without having to commit to a year?

  thanks Kokkieh, how do I access this? When I try to import my site (to demo it) it immediately goes to a pay wall.

  Hi there,

  You currently have no sites under your account. You will need to create your site before importing your content over from Squarespace. When creating your site, you should get a screen where you can choose the free option:

  

  Then, you should be able to follow these instructions in order to export your content:

  When I try to import my site I am at that exact same screen and free is not an option at the top. I would show you the screen shot, but it won’t let me

  Are you choosing to import your own plugins and themes and what not? That would require a Business Plan right away, because that’s the only plan that includes those features.

  If you’re importing content only, you can use a free plan.

  I just want to import my site to see how it runs (and search function works) on wordpress vs. squarespace.

  As of right now my search bar on my sqaurespace site only pulls of headings no meta data, which is tedious to fix and isn’t a perfect fix. I heard word press was much better on this function
