rwp Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 This is the only info I found. I have never attempted to do any of this, but I think its your only option. https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206566687-Exporting-your-site Margiada56 1 Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Copy and paste, that is what I did when I moved from a community blogger's site to my own website. That being said, 7.1 is one template built to look very much like the very successful Brine Family of templates with a streamed down configuration platform. Edited July 29, 2020 by derricksrandomviews Margiada56 1 Link to comment

Did you find a solution to this? If you take a look at Squarewebsites you'll find a great product called the Tools Extension PRO that can take of this, or you can book someone to take care of the blog transfer for you.

jonberrydesign Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 just adding a comment here in case someone comes up with and posts a solution to this in the future. I have a couple thousand blog posts, so for now am just staying with Squarespace 7 in hopes of a way being worked out in the future. motion graphic designer in SoCal - feel free to check out my site (built on the Polaris template): [motion graphic design by jonberrydesign][1] [1]: http://jonberrydesign.com Link to comment

sharongpastore Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 @michelle_barra_ did you find that this worked? I'm trying to figure out whether to help a client move from 7.0 to 7.1 and this would be a big project to move the blogs Link to comment

sharongpastore Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks so much, @paul2009. When do you usually advise a client to move to 7.1? Or when do you suggest they stay with 7.0? It seems with Fluid Engine here, it's a good idea for a client that is looking to really update the visual aspect as well as be positioned for future updates.

In summary, there's no need for a client to move away from their v7.0 site until the day that they want to use one of the new features that are only available on v7.1. Brine templates on the v7.0 platform provide a rock-solid solution and will continue to do so for years to come, but the underlying v7.0 framework is becoming dated and so isn't capable of supporting many of the newer features that clients ask about. For example, on Squarespace 7.1 you can: sell up to 10,000 products on one page. You are not limited to 200 products per page. categorise products in nested categories. You are not limited to simple categories. host videos natively on Squarespace and show them on video pages have page sections with individual styling options create a colour palette to match a brand identity and then apply it to the whole site have a separate Member Area navigation MLphoto and sharongpastore 2 About: Squarespace Circle Leader since 2017.

SandraB Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I also have a 7.0 website/blog that I am moving to the fluid engine. I don't mind re-creating the blogs but I am wondering if I can make the links the same once I get rid of my old website so all of my SEO and searches remain the same. Currently I am paying for the 7.0 and the 7.1 website until I am finished with the new one, then will cancel the 7.0. I have the same domain name so I am wondering if I can create duplicate links so my old blog post links just go to the new ones? Link to comment

jackperdue Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 It seems to me, that if SquarespaceWebsites product works then the cost of $50/yr makes it worth the time and expense. Afterall, what is your time worth? I just started looking at the service, so am not sure what all it will do. Link to comment
