Migrate to Hugo

This section highlights some projects around Hugo that are independently developed. These tools try to extend the functionality of our static site generator or help you to get started.

Take a look at this list of migration tools if you currently use other blogging tools like Jekyll or WordPress but intend to switch to Hugo instead. They’ll take care to export your content into Hugo-friendly formats.

WordPress

  • wordpress-to-hugo-exporter - A one-click WordPress plugin that converts all posts, pages, taxonomies, metadata, and settings to Markdown and YAML which can be dropped into Hugo.
