Weebly to WordPress Migration
Weebly to WordPress Migration
We move Weebly websites to WordPress by checking which pages, blog posts, images and products Weebly lets you take out, then rebuilding the rest as a site your team can edit. Weebly's site archive does not include the blog or store pages, so a full migration needs more than one download. Webzstore assesses the gaps first, then plans and builds the move.

Where this startsMy Weebly site feels limited and I want WordPress. I downloaded the archive, but the blog and shop are missing from it.
In plain terms
- Archive
- A ZIP file of your Weebly pages and images that Weebly emails to you.
- CSV file
- A simple spreadsheet-style file that holds rows of data.
- Redirect map
- A list that sends visitors from each old address to its new one.

03Transfer
Turn the archive into editable templates
Weebly describes the archive as a backup or a way to recreate the site at another host, and it cannot be loaded back into Weebly. We treat it as a reference and a source of files, not a finished site. The pages are rebuilt as WordPress templates (reusable page layouts), so staff change text and images in the editor without touching code.
Blog posts are copied or recreated, and we start by asking which ones are worth keeping. Images are collected, uploaded to the WordPress media library and given descriptive text (alt text) where it is missing. Our WordPress Website Design service covers the build.
04Rebuild
Recreate forms and shop functions one at a time
A Weebly site often relies on small built-in tools. Each one gets its own replacement and its own test.
- Contact forms, rebuilt and tested for where messages land
- Slideshows and galleries, replaced with WordPress blocks or plugins
- Product pages, built from the store CSV
- Product options such as sizes and colours
- Checkout, delivery and payment settings, planned on their own
Product images need extra care. The CSV's image column holds a Weebly-specific web address, so we download the pictures and check each product against its old page.
05Test
Compare the archive with the new pages
Because the archive leaves things out, we check page by page. We list every page you can see on Weebly, tick each one against the archive and the WordPress build, and flag anything missing. Then we open a product with options, a blog post, the contact form and a page with a slideshow. We check each on a phone.
Your team approves the finished pages before anything goes live.
06Launch
Move the address once the new site is approved
Your Weebly site stays live while we build. When you approve the WordPress site, the domain settings (the records telling the internet where your site is hosted) are changed in a planned window. A redirect map (a prepared match between every old Weebly address and its new page) is tested first.
Once live, we watch search performance and repair broken links, but rankings cannot be promised. We also settle who looks after hosting, updates and orders. Website Migration Services covers the wider process.
Questions about moving Weebly to WordPress
Can I import my Weebly archive into WordPress?
Not as a finished site. Weebly says the archive suits an offline backup or a recreation elsewhere. We use it as reference material and rebuild the pages.
Are my blog posts in the archive?
No. Weebly says blog and store pages are not included because they rely on its database. We copy or recreate the posts.
Will my product photos transfer with the CSV?
Not by themselves. The CSV's image column holds a Weebly web address, so the photos need to be collected and checked.
Can my orders and customers move?
It is not confirmed. Weebly's pages we checked do not describe an official export of orders, customers or coupons, so we plan that part separately.
Make the move for a clear reason
Send us your Weebly address and tell us whether you run a blog or a store. We will assess what is available from Weebly and what we must recreate in WordPress.
