Interested in migrating your site to WordPress.com?
For a short time, we’re offering migrations from your existing WordPress site to WordPress.com for free! Sign up for a new Creator or Entrepreneur plan and our expert Happiness Engineers will handle the migration for you.
If you have a site with another WordPress host or a local development/staging WordPress site, you can move it to WordPress.com using one of these options.
Visit our guide for instructions on how to import an entire site, including its content, media, plugins, and theme:
- Use the Migrate Guru plugin.
- Use the Move to WordPress.com plugin (no need to create a site on WordPress.com first.)
- Use the Import Everything option.
- Use the All-in-One WP Migration plugin.
The above options require the purchase of a WordPress.com Creator plan or higher so that plugins can be imported. For an option that can be used on any WordPress.com plan, including free sites, import the content only (pages, posts, and media.)
If you already have a website on WordPress.com but want to move it to another site or account, you can choose the best option for your needs:
Move the site’s content to another website:
Copy an entire WordPress.com site
Change the address of your site:
Transfer the site to another account on WordPress.com:
