The Substack Importer allows you to import content from a Substack newsletter into your WordPress…
The Substack Importer will import content from an export file downloaded from your Substack newsletter.
The following content will be imported:
- Posts and images.
- Podcasts.
- Comments (only for publicly accessible posts).
- Author information.
In the future, we plan to improve the importer by:
- Mailing lists.
- Enhancing the performance of processing export files with many posts and media.
FAQ
After about 30 seconds, the import stops and I am seeing a blank screen. What happened?
When trying to import a large number of posts and images, timeouts can occur. To solve this, you can try to run the import
several times until all content has been imported.
