Yes, the plugin is still using the very old Blogger 1.0 API. They’re up to 3.0 now and use JSON to send data around and even have a PHP client library to talk to their API:
https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/blob/master/src/Google/Service/Blogger.php
Might be worth a redo.
As confirmed today, this stops the plugin from working.
any chance to have the plugin working again?
I’m committed to a big project for the next couple of months so I’ll not be able to do this, I’m afraid. Happy to explain code to any volunteers.
Any Other option? I need it urgently.
Ugh! I need to transfer blogger to wordpress and without this plugin, I can’t do anything. Please help!
Yes please!
I also don’t seem able to do a manual import?
I too, need a resolution for a migration I am in the middle of. Please advise on manual import. Thank you!
Happy to explain code to any volunteers.
Hi Workshopshed could u explain the effort of update? I could try to solve it…
It’s a fairly big change, Google have moved to a different security protocol called OAuth2
The code for the authentication process is blogger-importer-connector.php, supported by oauth.php
References:
https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/3.0/using
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
You can navigate the protocols and have a play at
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
One more issue, the new API also uses JSON rather than XML.
So what does all that mean? How can I transfer a blog manually? I have the XML file that I have exported from Blogger.
>What does that mean?
That means a lot of coding work for someone, or you need to find a different way to do the imports.
Hi all. The blogger importer extended plugin works with the new google update:
