Food24 FAQ

Don’t panic! Your blog and all its content are perfectly safe!

We’ve moved every single blog post you’ve ever created, along with your images, onto a WordPress platform. Your new blog has been created for you, and all you need to do is get to know your new environment now.

It’s really simple, a whole lot better than what you had before and filled with so many cool new features it’s going to take you a while to discover them all. Start off by getting to know how to add a blog post and the rest will start falling into place!

As a product, Letterdash has become unsustainable and we have decided to decommission the product and offer you the absolute best blogging experience online at the moment.

WordPress is constantly updated and you’re not going to experience all the bugs and irritations you’ve been stomaching for the last few months. WordPress is the best blogging software available and we’ve decided that it’s about time we gave you what the majority of you having been asking for.

Your blog URL or address has not changed, so you and your visitors will find it in exactly the same place as before. The only thing that changes is that your blog now lives and works on a WordPress platform instead of the old Letterdash one.

To log on to your blog, use the same username and password you’ve always used to access your blog – you can change these at any time.

This is a massive process. Moving every single blog, along with every single blog post you’ve ever created, and all your images, is no small task.

To ensure the safety of your content and the stability of your blogs, we’ve decided to start the process with the Food24 blogs, and will roll out the change across the other partner brands on Letterdash immediately after. Ensure that you have updated the contact email address we have for you, so that you’ll receive all the important information you’ll receive as we work through the process.

Why yes you can! Importing and exporting your content is a simple, easy process.

Under the ‘Tools’ tab on the left navigation of your dashboard you’ll see ‘Import’ and ‘Export’ sub-tabs.

Import

WordPress supports the importing data from a number of external sources. In many cases, posts, comments, pages, categories, tags, and users, can be imported.

The Tools Import Screen lists the software packages that WordPress can import and details what types of data from each of those platforms qualifies for import. For a more extensive list of import possibilities, read more about importing content to your WordPress blog, here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Import_Screen

Export

WordPress Export will create an XML file for you to save to your computer. The format, which is called a WordPress eXtended RSS or WXR file, will contain your posts, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags.

The Tools Export Screen guides you through the easy process of exporting your blog. Bear in mind that the Exporting is a useful method to backup your WordPress data.
