How to: Move from Blogspot to Hosted WordPress — Internal Links
- 0 Comments
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I have to learn, is sort of how my week has been going for this blog.
After realizing that there must be BLOGSPOT based internal links in the content on this web page that points to my old Not How To Do It blog, I wondered how could I find all of that.
The easiest way to deal with it was:
- Go into your WordPress Dashboard
- Select “Manage Posts”
- And then in SEARCH input your old blogspot address (in my case nothowtodoit.blogspot.com)
- Voila, all posts that you have that have internal linksto your posts on your Blogspot site!
For me it was simple only 5 posts to fix, one, two three all updated to point to my new site address, all internal links fixed and happy no problemo.
Then I wondered, how many of the posts on this site have internal links to my old finance site? Go back to the Manage Posts page and input canajunfinances.blogspot.com, OH CRAP! Pages upon pages of posts with internal links back to my old site. I am slowly cleaning up that mess, one by one, and adding tags so it is a long tedious methodology for now.
Then I realized I need to do this on Canadian Financial Opinions as well. OH CRAP!!!! That is going to be hundreds of posts to fix with internal links! Darn.

Is there a better way, to do bulk edits in WordPress?
