Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do all imported blog posts stay in Draft status? No. Mapped posts are imported as Published, while unmapped posts are imported as Draft.
Q: Can I import posts if some metadata is missing? Yes. You can manually add or map missing authors, categories, and tags during the import process.
Q: What happens if some posts are mapped and others are not? You can still import both types. Posts with completed mapping are imported as published posts, and posts with incomplete mapping are imported as drafts.
Q: How is SEO affected when importing a blog? Will SEO authority or rankings transfer automatically? The importer migrates post content along with available SEO metadata, such as titles and descriptions. However, SEO authority does not automatically transfer simply by importing content. To preserve rankings and link equity, configure proper 301 redirects and keep the same domain and URL structure whenever possible. Without redirects, search engines may treat the imported posts as new pages.
Q: Do I need to manually recreate categories, authors, or tags after import? Not always. If any of that metadata is missing during import, you can add or map it during the mapping stage.
