WordPress to Wix, with your old links pointed to the right pages.
Wix can import your WordPress blog posts, but pages, design, SEO settings, and redirects are up to you. We rebuild the site in the Wix editor, add back what the importer skips, set up redirects in Wix’s redirect manager, and monitor search for 90 days.
Who this WordPress to Wix migration is for
A good fit
- Small businesses that want to stop managing WordPress hosting, plugins, and updates
- Owners who want drag-and-drop editing they can do themselves
- Service businesses that want bookings, chat, and payments built in
- Sites with Google traffic that need to keep it
Probably not a fit
- Sites that rely on custom plugins or complex custom code
- Large sites with more than 5,000 old URLs that can’t share folder-wide redirect rules
- Teams that want to own their hosting and code
Why owners move from WordPress to Wix
People switch from WordPress to Wix to get out of site maintenance and into an editor they can run themselves.
Wix keeps growing
Wix’s share of sites with a known CMS rose from 3.6% at the start of 2023 to 6.2% in October 2026, while WordPress’s fell from 63.7% to 58.3%.

Built-in business tools
Bookings, payments, chat, and email marketing are Wix apps you switch on, with no separate plugins to install and update.
Is moving off WordPress worth it?
Running costs on Wix are usually close to what good WordPress hosting costs. The gain is less upkeep and an editor you can use yourself.
Ask us about your siteWhat moves from WordPress to Wix
Wix imports WordPress blog posts from your site URL or an export file. It skips tags, author names, comments, and PDFs, so we handle those separately. Pages and design are rebuilt; SEO settings are re-entered.
| Item | What happens | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Blog posts | Moves, with changes | Wix’s importer brings posts with their dates, categories, images, and alt text. We add tags, author names, and attached PDFs by hand. Comments and drafts don’t import. |
| Pages | Rebuilt | Rebuilt in the Wix editor with the same content and structure. |
| Images | Moves unchanged | Uploaded to Wix’s media manager so nothing depends on your old hosting. |
| SEO titles and descriptions | Moves, with changes | Yoast or Rank Math settings are re-entered in Wix’s SEO settings, page by page. |
| Theme and page builder layouts | Rebuilt | Rebuilt in Wix to match your current design unless you choose a refresh. |
| Plugins | Moves, with changes | Replaced with Wix apps or built-in features. Anything with no equivalent is listed in your quote. |
| WooCommerce products | Moves, with changes | Products can move to Wix Stores; order history usually stays as an export for your records. |
Redirects and URLs
The WordPress URLs that need redirects
Wix uses its own URL patterns, so most WordPress post URLs change. Each one gets a permanent (301) redirect in Wix’s URL redirect manager.
Blog posts under /post/
Wix puts blog posts under /post/ by default. That prefix can be renamed, so we match your old paths where Wix allows it and redirect the rest one by one.
Redirect limits
Wix allows up to 5,000 redirects per site. When many old URLs share a folder, like /2019/, one group redirect covers the whole folder.
Your domain comes first
Wix redirects only work once your own domain is connected, so the domain move is planned before launch.
Archives and media
Category, tag, and /wp-content/uploads/ links are pointed to the closest page or to the re-uploaded file.

“From” is the starting price for the kind of site described. Prices depend on your site’s size and setup. You get a quote before any work starts, and we don’t bill by the hour.
Our SEO migration guarantee
Nobody can promise rankings after a migration, and we don’t. We commit in writing to the process that protects them.
Every known page is mapped
Every address we find in your sitemap, Search Console, analytics, and backlinks gets a destination: a matching page, the closest match, or a planned removal. You see the full list before launch.
Nothing breaks by accident
Pages you choose to retire are removed on purpose. If any other old link stops working after launch, we fix it.
90 days of monitoring
We watch which pages Google indexes, any errors it reports, and traffic to your moved pages for 90 days, with a report at 30, 60, and 90 days.
We fix our mistakes for free
If something we missed or broke causes a problem in those 90 days, we fix it at no cost.
The guarantee covers our work. It doesn’t cover Google algorithm updates, content you change after launch, pages removed at your request, or problems caused by your host, third-party plugins, or other vendors.
When you should stay on WordPress
If your site depends on custom plugins or code, or it’s large enough to strain Wix’s limits, staying on WordPress with managed hosting is usually the better call. We check every plugin and feature you use against Wix and list anything it can’t do.

Common questions about moving from WordPress to Wix.
Can Wix import my WordPress site?+
Wix can import WordPress blog posts from your site URL or an export file. It skips tags, author names, comments, and PDFs, and pages, design, SEO settings, and redirects are rebuilt by hand.
Will I lose my Google rankings?+
Expect some movement at first. On Wix, posts move under /post/ and redirects only work once your own domain is connected, so we connect the domain at launch, redirect every page we find in your sitemap, Search Console, analytics, and backlinks, and track search for 90 days.
Is there a limit on redirects?+
Yes. Wix allows up to 5,000 redirects per site, which covers most small and mid-sized sites. When old URLs share a folder, one group redirect can cover the whole folder.
What happens to my plugins?+
Each one is replaced with a Wix app or built-in feature. If one has no equivalent, we tell you before work starts.
How long does it take?+
Most sites with up to 15 pages and a blog take two to four weeks.
