Troubleshooting Blogger To WordPress Pro

  • License Activation Failed:
    • Invalid or Expired License Key: Double-check that you have entered the license key correctly. Ensure your license is active and not expired. You can verify your license status on the website where you purchased the plugin.
    • Maximum Activation Count Reached: Your license may be active on another site. Deactivate the license on the other site or purchase an additional license. You can deactivate a license from the License page if it’s currently active on the current site.
    • Connection to License Server Failed: This could be due to a temporary network issue or a firewall blocking the connection to https://app.siteskyline.com. Ensure your server can connect to this URL.
    • Unknown Error: If you encounter an unknown error, try deactivating and reactivating the plugin. If the issue persists, contact support.
  • Import Process Issues:
    • Invalid URL Format: Ensure you have entered a valid Blogger URL (e.g., https://yourblog.blogspot.com).
    • WordPress REST API Issue: The plugin uses the WordPress REST API to create posts and pages. Ensure your WordPress REST API is enabled and accessible. Check that your permalinks are set to “Post name” in Settings > Permalinks.
    • Timed out fetching content from Blogger: The Blogger API may be temporarily unavailable, or there might be a network issue. Check your Blogger URL and ensure the blog is publicly accessible. Try the import again later.
    • Error importing content: Specific errors during import might be displayed in the progress log. Common issues include server limitations (e.g., memory limits, execution time) or issues with specific content items from Blogger. If you see repeated errors for certain items, you might need to manually import those or contact support with the error details from the log.
    • Import interrupted: Do not close the browser window during the import. If the import is interrupted, you can try starting it again. The plugin has some retry logic, but a full interruption might require a fresh start.
  • Redirects Not Working:
    • Redirects not enabled: Ensure the “Enable URL Redirects” option is checked in the plugin’s Settings page.
    • Permalink settings: Ensure your WordPress permalinks are set to “Post name” in Settings > Permalinks.
    • Server configuration: If you have uninstalled the plugin and are using the exportable redirect rules, ensure you have correctly added the rules to your server configuration file (.htaccess for Apache, server block for Nginx) and that your server has been reloaded or restarted if necessary.
    • Caching: Clear any website or server-level caching that might be interfering with the redirects.
  • Plugin Uninstallation:
    • When you uninstall the plugin from the WordPress Plugins page, it will automatically delete the BLIMWI_settings option from your WordPress database.
    • If you enabled redirects and wish to keep them after uninstalling, you must copy the appropriate Apache or Nginx redirect rules from the plugin’s Settings page and add them to your server configuration before uninstalling the plugin.
