Solve “There was a problem opening a secure connection to Google.” Error
Have you got this error while importing posts from Blogger to WordPress? It says:
There was a problem opening a secure connection to Google. This is what went wrong:
Connection timed out (110)
It is simply because you don’t have SSL support in your server. To import posts, your WordPress hosting server needs to create a HTTPS session with your Google account. So if you are looking to transfer from Blogger to WordPress & buy a paid hosting for that, then you should check whether your hosting package supports SSL or not.
If you are using free hosting, still you can import it. Create a wordpress.com blog. Then import from Blogger to that blog. You would have no problem as wordpress.com admin is on secure server. Then create an export file from it. Now import that file in your own WordPress blog. Remember to delete the wordpress.com blog then. Otherwise, you may get penalized for duplicate content.

I am in the paid hosting ( awardspace.com )
I am trying to move my blog from blogspot to wordpress. I cant import it.
I could not understand this. please help, please explain me.
@sohail
Simply that means you don’t have https connection in your AwardSpace account. Security certificate must be installed in your server. So your service provider may let you access shared secure server or if you want to install SSL certificate by yourself, you need dedicated ip for that.
But as long as you have a work around, try it
thnx for reply…. but is there any other method without ssl.? i cant buy security certificate. help me please.. any other options.
Didn’t you read the whole blog post! A work around using wordpress.com is already mentioned there.
