If you are Getting 404 Not Found Error or all posts in blogger are now referring to single post in wordpress after moving from blogger to wordpress even after following all the instructions given in above post


You might be wondering what went wrong, the only solution for your issue of Getting 404 Not Found Error or all posts in blogger are now referring to a single post in wordpress is because of  the blogger/ added after your new domain name in your old blogger.

Be careful while adding the /blogger/ after your new wordpress domain, It is not needed to add your new domain.com everywhere in the html template.

 Make sure that /blogger should be added after your domain name only in <itempage> tag.
