WP FetLife Importer

The WP FetLife Importer is a WordPress plugin offering an easy way to import your FetLife Writings and Pictures to a WordPress blog. If you’re using a WordPress.com blog or want to move your FetLife content to a non-WordPress blogging platform, try the FetLife to WXR Generator instead.

The following table describes the conversions WP FetLife Importer makes from your FetLife content:

Yes, WP FetLife Importer also imports comments.

Why aren’t some of my Pictures being imported?

Most likely, it’s because you haven’t written any captions on your FetLife Pictures. You need to make sure that each of the pictures on your FetLife profile has its own (unique) caption, so WP WordPress Importer won’t think it’s already imported that picture.

Why is FetLife so awful?

Because FetLife is a corporation that doesn’t give a shit about you. I’m serious. Check out the following resources:

• The privacy information FetLife doesn’t want you to read
• Help FetLife’s rape culture FAADE away
• FetLife iCalendar: Hate FetLife, but need to know what’s going in your Scene? There’s an App For That.
• Tracking rape culture’s social license to operate online

   Enter your FetLife connection details on the WP FetLife Importer screen, and optionally specify a proxy URL. Once entered, you're ready to import!
