Excellent help diagnosing a problem. Would be better if chat were available, but the delay was not too bad. Thanks!
Plugged it in, paid the fee for the 72-hour use, and got right to migrating a blog from Blogspot. Within minutes it was done. All the content, graphic, and links synced over perfectly.
Saved me tons of tedious time cutting and pasting stuff and uploading jpegs.
Great job, ShopStorm!
BlogFeeder worked great for a one time move for my Wordpress blog to my new Shopify blog. Too bad it doesn't move images and comments but apart from that a great product!
Excellent product. Worked like a charm and when I needed a few tweaks, the documentation was clear and effective. I needed a bit of custom fiddling because of settings on my old blog and the service rep was able to make the required css changes for my new blog to look perfect. Thanks BlotFeeder.
This app was really buggy for me and didn't work on Safari. At first it only imported 10 articles, but after contacting support they told me to change some default settings in Wordpress and it was able to import all my articles. It's too bad those setting changes weren't in the instructions. It was a nailbiter, because I only had 72 hour window that I had to pay up-front with the app and the support case took a day or two, although support was pleasant to work with. None of the imported articles have any pictures even though Wordpress hosts them all, so I don't fully get why I would want this app at all.
Hi,
I am sorry you had a bad 1st experience while importing the posts. From your description it looks like you missed setting things up correctly.
When you have a moment can you confirm one setting in your WordPress admin for me? WordPress sites set their RSS feed syndication settings to only send 10 posts by default.
To update your RSS settings, go to Settings > Reading and change 'Syndication feeds show the most recent' to allow all of your posts in your feed (BlogFeeder needs access to all posts to import them). At the same time, you may want to ensure that you allow the full text in your RSS feed.
Update:
On checking our logs I can see you have 300 posts already imported. Would you mind letting us know if you require further assistance?
It takes a while to synchronize new posts and changes made. But all around fantastic app!
Great app thus far. Seems to do exactly what it promises. I will update my review when I have had more opportunity to use if further.
Had a glitch, they got it fixed. Happy to recommend
This app was so simple to set up, and fast too! The longest part was waiting for the blog to sync with my shop. Now all I need is some clever way of making my shop blog look like a gallery rather than a listing. Thanks Sean :)
It's good and useful if you have plenty of posts to synchronize. Thanks!
