How do I transfer content from an old blog (v 7.0) to a new website (v 7.1)?

I'm disappointed that I have to rebuild my website (version 7.0) in order to use version 7.1 templates & features. With that said, is there any way to transfer my old blog content to my new website?

Yes, I use the amazing SquarespaceWebsites Tools PRO Chrome Extension. It's a game changer and can migrate all blog content (although not comments). Alternatively, you can hire someone to migrate it for you 🙂.

The problem with migrating from 7.0 to 7.1 is that there is so much that must be recreated manually. For example:

• Uploaded files cannot be migrated. You will need to manually upload each file to the new site and then reconnect each link.
• Subscriptions (including memberships) cannot be migrated. 
• Digital product purchases cannot be migrated, preventing customers from re-downloading their digital purchases. 
• Customer accounts and profiles cannot be migrated.
• Squarespace Email Campaigns cannot be migrated.
• Squarespace Scheduling cannot be migrated.
• Backend data cannot be migrated. This means that you will not be able to look back at analytics data, customer accounts or historical order data. 
• Commerce settings and payment processors cannot be migrated. 
• Product reviews cannot be migrated.
• Squarespace Extensions cannot be migrated. 
• Digital products cannot be migrated. 
• Index pages cannot be migrated.
• The URL slug of individual product detail pages will change.
• Squarespace 7.1 site headers are more restrictive.
• Custom code must be re-written.
• Third-party plugins may need to be repurchased for Squarespace 7.1.
