Feed Importer for Blogger helps you seamlessly migrate your content from Blogger to WordPress using the new .atom export format. After Blogger’s recent updates, the default WordPress importer no longer works correctly. This plugin solves that problem with a modern, reliable solution.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>✅ Works with New Blogger Export Format – Supports the latest .atom files</li>
<li>✅ Import Posts & Pages – Migrate all your content easily</li>
<li>✅ Automatic Image Import – Downloads images locally to your WordPress media library</li>
<li>✅ Real-Time Progress Tracking – See live progress with AJAX-based import</li>
<li>✅ Duplicate Detection – Prevents importing the same post twice</li>
<li>✅ Featured Images – Automatically sets the first image as featured image</li>
<li>✅ Batch Processing – Handles large imports without timeout issues</li>
<li>✅ Author Mapping – Maps Blogger authors to WordPress users</li>
<li>✅ Clean & Intuitive UI – Easy-to-use admin interface</li>
</ul>
Why Choose This Plugin?
The default WordPress Blogger Importer is broken after Blogger’s latest changes. Existing alternatives are either: 
– Paid and expensive 
– Outdated and unmaintained 
– Don’t handle images properly 
– Timeout on large imports
This plugin is free, modern, and built specifically for Blogger’s new export system.
What Gets Imported:
<ul>
<li>Blog posts</li>
<li>Pages (optional)</li>
<li>Images (downloaded to media library)</li>
<li>Post titles and content</li>
<li>Publication dates</li>
<li>Author information</li>
<li>Original Blogger URLs (for redirects)</li>
</ul>
Perfect For:

<li>Bloggers migrating from Blogger to WordPress</li>
<li>Agencies handling client migrations</li>
<li>Anyone tired of broken import tools</li>
</ul>

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Blogger_Importer has a deprecated constructor in /xxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/blogger-importer/blogger-importer.php on line 44

Another user reported this months ago, but it's not fixed yet.
