This page explains how to securely transfer posts or notes from Facebook directly to your WordPress.com site.
In this guide
- Visit the data transfer page at https://facebook.com/dtp. You may need to log in or enter your Facebook password again to visit that page.
- Choose your profile: If prompted, select your Facebook profile and click the “Next” button.
- Select information: Select “Create custom transfer” and click the “Next” button again.
- Choose destination: Select “WordPress.com/Jetpack” as the destination and then click the “Save” button. Click the “Next” button
- Choose what to transfer: WordPress.com supports both “Posts” and “Notes”.
- Connect with WordPress.com/ Jetpack: Click the “Connect” button and approve access to your WordPress.com site. Make sure to select the correct site here:
- Start transfer: Click “Start transfer” to confirm that you would like to move forward with the transfer.
Once confirmed, the transfer will start. It should take up to a few hours to complete, and Facebook will notify you when the transfer is done.
All imported Facebook content will be saved as draft posts. You can review and publish them by clicking on Posts in your site’s dashboard.
Since Facebook posts do not include titles, they are exported with a generic “Facebook Post” title, followed by the date and time the post was created. While you can edit the post title before publishing it on your site, it can also be hidden by editing the Single Posts template.
As a general rule, Facebook will export posts you created on your personal timeline. Due to the platform’s privacy rules, some posts may be excluded from the transfer.
If a Facebook post is just a link, it will not be imported. Only link posts that include written text (in addition to the shared link) are exported by Facebook.
Facebook currently does not enable video, image, and events imports into WordPress.com sites.
