Migrating from Blogger is not updating image’s URLs

  • Let me preface that the website I’m having problems with is not yet public and I’m testing wordpress locally on a docker container running on a home server.

    I want to migrate my dad’s blog from Blogger to WordPress. I exported Blogger’s XML backup and I’m importing it using WordPress official plugin.

    It correctly imports all posts and it’s downloading a lot of images into wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/10, but it’s NOT replacing the URL of my images from https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/...../image.jpg to the expected URL starting with https://192.168.0.30:9480/.

    Why is this happening? I want to setup the blog for him and then let him mess around and learn WordPress before going ahead and purchasing a domain and hosting but this is blocking my progress.

    I’ve tried several Blogger import plugins and other things like URL replacers and Image Optimizers but nothing really helps. What am I doing wrong? How do I move forward?

    Thank you.

    BTW, this is a personal non-commercial blog so I’m trying to do this for free (other than the domain/hosting). As soon as I have to start purchasing plugins or subscriptions it’s not going to be worth it.
