Move a 51-part newsletter series into WordPress safely
Project brief
Need a careful WordPress migration specialist, not a site redesign. Import a 51-part newsletter archive from Substack into a self-hosted WordPress test/staging site.
Back up first. Preserve titles, original publication dates, authors, images, captions and links, and keep the series in order. Imported posts must stay draft/private until approved. Do not change the theme, unrelated plugins or other site content. The authorised export and target structure will be provided before work starts. Include a reconciliation list so omissions are easy to find.
Deliverables & acceptance
What you'll deliver
- 51 imported draft/private posts, migration checklist and backup/restore notes.
What the result must meet
- All 51 agreed instalments are accounted for, in order, with sampled text, images and links matching the export.
- No imported content is publicly published and unrelated site content remains unchanged.
