M. Nasikin

<p>BtW Importer is a powerful yet simple migration tool that helps you seamlessly transfer your content from Blogger (Blogspot) to WordPress with minimal effort. Whether you’re a casual blogger or managing a large archive, this plugin handles the complex parts so you don’t have to.</p>
<p>With just 3 steps, BtW Importer lets you upload your .atom file from Google Takeout and automatically imports your posts—images, links, formatting, and more. It also enhances your content by downloading embedded images, replacing Blogger URLs with WordPress-friendly links, and setting featured images based on the first image in each post. Plus, you’ll get real-time progress feedback so you can watch the migration unfold with confidence.</p>
<p>Designed to be fast, reliable, and compatible with WordPress 6.9+, this plugin streamlines the process and saves you hours of manual work.</p>
<p>Notice: Nginx-based server maybe slower when importing content than Apache or Litespeed. If you’re using Nginx-based server, it’s recommended to import blogspot content in wordpress localhost, then upload to hosting or server.</p>
