I’m trying to migrate a website from Weebly to WordPress on behalf of a nonprofit; the site is hosted on iPage. I’m using the directions that I found here:
https://www.isitwp.com/move-website-weebly-wordpress/
I’ve been able to download the Weebly site as an XML file without any problems. The problems all seem to be on the WordPress backend. Under Tools > Import, I’ve attempted to install the WordPress Installer, but I do not seem to be able to do so. I keep getting an error that reads:
Installation failed: Could not create directory. /hermes/bosnacweb05/bosnacweb05bg/b2111/ipg.careclinicrwcom/wp_site_1704571800/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-importer.0.8.1
In addition, the WordPress I’m doing this on is 6.1, but any time I attempt to update to 6.4, the update fails and I receive the same message I’ve mentioned above. I’ve also attempted to install Elementor and received the same error message.
This is my first time trying to migrate a site. Am I glossing over something? Is this a known issue? Is there something with iPage that’s preventing me from doing this? Is there some kind of process still running on WordPress in the background that needs to finish and I just have to let it sit for a bit?
Thank you to anyone who can help me!
]]>I embrace change. I’m not embracing Gutenberg.
Check out the issues on Github. The sheer volume is staggering. And this is going to be implemented into the mighty WordPress?
I don’t think so.
Gutenberg will fail.
]]>But it will take me longer to do this than good old copy/paste.
So my question is does anyone have a working solution to get weebly blogs transferred into workpress?
]]>I am not looking to move content, as I am not happy with my Weebly site! I purchased my domain for 2 years and would now like to use it with WordPress. Is this possible, and how so?
I would like to use the “Lovely” or “Feminine Kat” theme from Genesis if this makes a difference!
Thanks so much. I’ve been stuck in Weebly land and now need to learn all over again!

I’ve recently connected my WordPress ran domain to my Weebly designed site, but when I have the site published, if I share on (for example) Facebook, the preview that appears below links to my WordPress site.
Is there a way to fix this? As it’s quite a big issue. My domain points to my Weebly site so I don’t think it could be that.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.
