Cannot access blog posts after switching to Squarespace

  • Hello,

    I recently switched my website over from using www.remarpro.com to Squarespace. During the transfer, I forgot to also switch over (or at least screenshot) my old blog posts from WordPress. I use GoDaddy for my domain and I used it to switch over from WordPress to Squarespace. I have tried logging in to my old WordPress admin but it says I do not have an account (or something similar to that).

    Does anyone know how I might access my old blog posts? I never deleted my WordPress website, I simply just directed my domain to go to my new Squarespace website.

    thank you.

  • @jacowhig – I have EXACTLY the same issue as you’ve detailed here. Did you ever figure out how to login to the WordPress site? We switched over to SS today and it never occurred to me that I wouldn’t be able to go back to my WordPress site to get some of the images and blog posts from it.

    @jacowig @curioust Did either of you all find a solution to this issue? I am also having the exact same issue.

    @jacowig – I DID figure it out. I had to go back to my hosting company for my WP site (in my case, Site Ground) and they had to give me a new URL to access the WP dashboard. When you switch your web address to SquareSpace, it can no longer be used to access WP, so your WP hosting provider will have to create (or just let you know) what new URL you can use to get access to your WP site. So don’t cancel your hosting service until you can get your stuff off WP and into SS.

    By the way, I did not find an easy or efficient way to move my blog posts from WP to SS. It was cut and paste the whole way. Brutal. Good luck!
