Migrate HubSpot forms from one WordPress site to another

Dec 23, 2024

—

To migrate HubSpot forms from one WordPress site to another, export your HubSpot forms from the first site, then import them into your new WordPress site using the HubSpot WordPress plugin, making sure to update any necessary URL references on the forms to match your new domain; essentially, you’re not migrating the forms directly between WordPress sites, but rather transferring them through your HubSpot account by exporting and importing them. [1, 2, 3]

Here’s a step-by-step guide: [1, 3, 4]

On your old WordPress site: [1, 3, 4]

Access HubSpot forms: Log in to your HubSpot account and navigate to “Marketing” > “Forms”. [1, 3, 4]
Export forms: Select the forms you want to migrate and choose the export option. [1, 4, 5]

On your new WordPress site: [2, 3, 6]

Install HubSpot plugin: Install the HubSpot WordPress plugin on your new site. [2, 3, 6]
Import forms: Within the plugin settings, choose the option to import forms and select the exported file from your old site. [1, 2, 5]
Update URLs: Review each imported form and update any placeholder URLs or links to reflect your new domain. [1, 7]
Embed forms on pages: Use the HubSpot plugin to embed the imported forms on the relevant pages on your new WordPress site. [2, 3]

Key points to remember: [1, 2, 3]

HubSpot account access: You need access to the same HubSpot account on both WordPress sites to seamlessly transfer forms. [1, 2, 3]
Form customization: After importing, you may need to make minor adjustments to the form design or field labels to fit your new site’s aesthetics. [1, 2, 4]
Consider data mapping: If you need to transfer form submission data from the old site, ensure the field mapping is correct during the import process. [1, 7, 8]
