WordPress to Ghost migration service — we move everything for you
We move your WordPress site to Ghost — posts, pages, images, authors, subscribers and every old URL redirected — while your current site stays online.
On this page
Moving from WordPress to Ghost® takes more than an export file: shortcodes, page-builder blocks, plugins and old URLs all need handling. We do the whole move for you — articles, pages, images, authors, categories, subscribers and every old URL redirected — while your WordPress site stays online until you approve the new one.

Why WordPress sites move to Ghost
- No more plugin maintenance. No more weekly updates, plugin conflicts or security patches to chase.
- Faster pages. No heavy page builder: Ghost pages load quickly, which helps your Google rankings.
- Newsletter and memberships included. No need for Mailchimp, MailPoet or a membership plugin on top.
- An editor your team actually enjoys. Writing in Ghost feels like writing an email.
What we migrate from WordPress
- Posts and pages — exported with Ghost's official WordPress tools, then checked one by one: shortcodes, page-builder blocks (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery) and embeds rebuilt as clean Ghost content.
- Categories and tags — mapped to Ghost tags, with their archive pages.
- Authors — each one keeps their profile and their articles.
- Images and media — moved out of
wp-content/uploadsand optimised. - Subscribers and members — from Mailchimp, MailPoet or your membership plugin, imported as Ghost members.
- Redirects — date-based, category and page URLs (
/2024/05/my-post/,/category/news/) sent to their new address. - SEO — Yoast or Rank Math titles and descriptions carried over, plus sitemap and structured data.
What changes, and how we handle it
- Plugins. Most are replaced by Ghost built-ins: newsletter, members, SEO, search. For the rest — forms, bookings, payments — we connect a dedicated tool such as Tally, Calendly or Stripe.
- Comments. Ghost's importer does not bring WordPress comments across. Ghost has its own comments for members; we decide with you whether old discussions are kept as an archive.
- Online shop. Ghost is not an e-commerce platform. For a few products we add Stripe payment links; a large WooCommerce catalogue stays on a dedicated shop tool linked from your site.

Price
Every migration is different: a five-page site and an archive of 8,000 articles are not the same job. We look at your current site during a free 30-minute call, then send you a fixed quote covering the migration, the redirects and the switch-over. No surprise on the invoice.
Once live, your site is hosted and looked after on our managed website plan: hosting, security updates, backups, newsletter sending and content changes on request.
How it works
- Free call. We look at your current site, its traffic and what must move, and answer your questions.
- Fixed quote. You receive a clear plan and a price before anything starts.
- Migration on a preview address. Your current site stays online while we build the Ghost version; you review it before anything changes.
- Switch-over. We point your domain to Ghost, activate the redirects and check every important URL.
- Follow-up. We watch Google Search Console in the following weeks and fix anything that slips.
Migrations by platform
- All migrations to Ghost
- Wix and Squarespace to Ghost migration
- Substack and Beehiiv to Ghost migration
- Blogger and Medium to Ghost migration
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my Google rankings when I leave WordPress?
Not if every old URL is redirected, which is part of every migration we do. We keep your slugs where possible, redirect the rest, carry over your SEO titles and descriptions, and watch Search Console for several weeks after the switch.
Can you migrate a WordPress site with thousands of posts?
Yes. We moved more than 8,000 articles for APAR.TV. Large archives are imported by script, then checked by sampling and by URL.
What happens to my WordPress plugins?
Ghost replaces most of them natively (newsletter, members, SEO, search). We list your plugins during the call and tell you what replaces each one.
Can my subscribers and paying members come with me?
Yes. Subscribers are imported into Ghost. For paid memberships, we check what your current plugin and payment provider let us carry over.
Does my WordPress site stay online during the migration?
Yes. We build the Ghost version on a preview address and only switch your domain once you have approved it.
Are you part of Ghost?
No. Ghost is the only platform we build on, but Abstract27 is an independent agency, not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by the Ghost Foundation.

Jérémy is a professional who listens, is responsive, and always offers sound advice. He brought my design to life, respecting my wishes down to the smallest detail, while finding simple and effective solutions so I can easily manage my website. Always available and incredibly patient, he truly takes the time to help and find solutions. It's a real pleasure to work with him, and I recommend him without hesitation!
Valérie A. · ★★★★★ · October 2026 · Google review
Working with Abstract was one of the best professional decisions I made to boost my online presence and digital prospecting efforts. I initially built my website on Webflow, but I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to easily manage updates because the system is complex… whereas with Abstract, it's very intuitive… a breeze. Jérémie did an exceptional job giving the site the look and feel I envisioned. He also gave me invaluable advice on streamlining and optimizing the customer experience. I'm thrilled: I'm autonomous, efficient, and well-structured.
Anne V. · ★★★★★ · October 2026 · Google review
I contacted Jérémie and Abstrat27 to create the website for my financial education platform. I had a specific set of requirements: to translate the brand strategy and graphic charter developed beforehand, to secure the content, especially the paid courses, while retaining full ownership of my content, and above all, to have a user-friendly website that I could easily update as I produced new content (I'm completely unfamiliar with computers). They succeeded! The website accurately reflects my vision, and I have complete autonomy to update it as my content evolves. I'm truly delighted with the result, and a huge thank you to Jérémie, who guided me and kept me focused on all my requirements. I highly recommend them!

We used Abstrat27 to set up our website using Ghost and couldn't be happier. Jérémie really listened to what we needed, understood our vision and came up with great advice. From start to full migration, everything was handled efficiently. We love how easy it is to manage the website by ourselves now, which was exactly what we wanted. On top of that, Jérémie is incredibly available and explains everything clearly. Very professional, reliable and genuinely helpful! Highly recommend!
Club P. · ★★★★★ · March 2026 · Google review
I’d been using WordPress for years, but wanted something lighter and more modern. Jeremie handled the entire migration to Ghost, and honestly, he did an outstanding job. Everything went smoothly from start to finish — he was professional, responsive, and really listened to what I needed. I’m genuinely happy with the result. Ghost is a fantastic platform — clean, fast, and enjoyable to use — and Jeremie’s work made all the difference. I’d absolutely recommend him!
French A. · ★★★★★ · July 2025 · Google review
I would like to commend Jérémie Raude-Leroy for his remarkable commitment and expertise in managing our cultural and predictive platform, APAR.TV. His responsiveness and unparalleled guidance enabled a lightning-fast transition from our WordPress infrastructure to Ghost. Jérémie brilliantly orchestrated the migration of thousands of author accounts while simultaneously resetting all of our email accounts. Thanks to his expertise and professionalism, Jérémie not only met our expectations but exceeded them, delivering exemplary service. For all these reasons, we extend our sincerest thanks and affirm that he deserves our complete and unwavering trust.

Thank you Jeremie Raude-Leroy and Abstract27 - London Web Agency for the introduction to the Ghost #opensource solution and the help with creating and hosting our new website! It is a fantastic milestone for www.airc.digital in sharing our #openbim philosophy with the world!
Pierre S. · ★★★★★ · June 2024 · Google review
I wish I could give more than 5 stars, because the website Abstract27 made for me definitely is something else. I didn't know Ghost CMS at first and I was a bit skeptical. But I decided to take the leap of faith and oh boy was I positively surprised. Everything was done for me and the team even helped me customize the website. I've created dozens of WordPress website in the past but none matched Ghost CMS in terms of performance, ease of use and design. Thank you!!
Ayoub O. · ★★★★★ · May 2024 · Google review
I had been hosting my website on blogger and had been wanting to migrate to a fast, modern and mobile friendly platform for a while. Jérémie managed to convince me to make the move and I’m very happy he did. The result is stunning, SEO friendly and easy to maintain. And on top of that the ongoing hosting fees are very reasonable (actually cheaper than on Ghost Pro).
