If you use Hostinger Website Builder and want to export your website's content to a WordPress site, follow the instructions below.
Note that not everything can be exported. For example, you can’t export website styles and layout, online store, integrations, forms, collected submissions, or SEO settings.
You can export regular pages, texts, images, and other files. Find out more about the file types supported by WordPress 💡
Before proceeding, ensure that:
You already have a WordPress website setup; if not, you can set one up at Hostinger by following this guide: How to add a WordPress website. The WordPress version must be 6.5 or higher, and the domain name must be propagated.
Reset your WordPress website's permalinks structure to post name as in step 1 in this tutorial:
Then, within the builder, click on the ellipsis ⋯ button on the sidebar to open settings and select Export content to WordPress:
Insert the destination domain name that's already linked to your WordPress website and click on Start export:
You'll be redirected to the WordPress admin panel, where you must create a new application password. This password will be used only for the content export application. Once that's done, click on Yes, I approve of this connection:
Once the export is completed, click on Go to WordPress site:
Finally, due to security reasons, it's recommended that you revoke the application password.
Failed Exports
The export might fail due to the application password feature, which is required for the export process, and is disabled on the WordPress site you are trying to export the Builder website to.
You can enable this by going to your WordPress website's admin dashboard, clicking on Hostinger Tools plugin and following as per the image below:
