What the heck!!!??? I don’t want to redirect traffic back to my wordpress site!! That is annoying!!! I want two sites people can go to!!!! I just want the wordpress site update when I put a new entry in blogger.com! You people are idiots!

Everytime they find my blogger.com site they get a meta redirect back to my wordpress…???? That is stupid stupid stupid! How about when I sign into my blogger.com site to make an entry?? I get a redirect before I can click on sign in fast enough…

I want to enter things in blogger.com, then have my wordpress site update automatically… ONLY! no meta redirects and stupid stuff like that…

I just use Blogger to WordPress plug in and that’s it…. now I find out that maybe there is a limit to the imports…. sucks sucks sucks!!!!! NO META REDIRECT!

Sorry, I do not fully understand your step#3. Am I right to say, I go to cpanel in my host, then click on file manager. Then I select which directory to open? Is it Document Root for? The select my site and click “Go”. And from there which one should I pick and what to do next? Please help me out here. Your help is greatly appreciated.

There were no problems selecting ‘Blogger’ template when creating that blogger page but there are some of the settings that seems to have causing some prob:

1) Which permalinks structure should be used in WordPress?
I have set it to custom as /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html coz that matches with the structure on blogspot blog.

2) Should we enable “POST PAGES” in blogspot blog?

3) In the 4th step above its said that – ||||The TITLE and URL of that page must be blogger||| ‘URL of the page must be blogger’ means what exactly??
Please mention how that URL structure will be for my linksfordownloaders.com blog.

I am interested to migrate my tech blog to WordPress, so first I have tried this migration process on my movies links test blog @ linksfordownloaders.blogspot.com

Have done all the steps as mentioned above(also referred post on labnol) but the problem is individual old Blogger blog posts are not getting redirected to the corresponding WordPress pages.

here are the site-links indexed in Google search – http://www.google.co.in/search?q=site:linksfordownloaders.blogspot.com

when clicked on any one of them (excluding homepage and archives which are getting redirected to wordpress home page @ linksfordownloaders.com) you will see the following error message getting displayed

HTTP 403 – Forbidden
This area is forbidden.

What’s might have gone wrong??
