I am looking to move over blog post from my old store to my new store. Is there a easy way to achieve this ?
I am looking to have the following moved over:
content of the blog post including photos and writings
Views of the blog post
The date posted of the blog post
So basically I want all the meta data to travel from one store to another and look exactly the same
Hey @Samik1 ,
Welcome to the Shopify Community!
The simplest way to transfer everything over would be to use an app. We have many apps in our app store that can help with migration. Some options you could look into are:
The other option would be to do this manually. It would take a lot more time of course, so an app is likely the way you’d want to go. I did want to mention doing it manually in case using an app won’t work for you.
We have a general guide to migrating to Shopify that you might find helpful as well. I’d check out the section on setting up URL redirects so your old blog URLs redirect to the new URL on Shopify.
Both options allow you to set a publish date in the past and bring over the main content, however you would not be able to bring over view counts. Those are part of your Analytics Reports and would only be available for views moving forward.
If you find your blog is a big part of your store and you want more control over how it looks and functions there are apps for that as well. A few options to consider are:
Let me know if you have any other questions about this!
