Migrate from Medium and import your content to Ghost with this guide
Self-service Migration
Most publishers can do this right now using our Medium migrator.
Using custom domains
If you’re using a custom domain on Medium, you’ll need to implement redirects in Ghost to prevent broken links.
Medium appends a small random ID to each post, which is removed in the migration step above. The regular expression below removes that random ID, but does not affect preview links.
# redirects.yaml
301:
^\/(?!p\/?)(.*)(-[0-9a-f]{10,12}): /$1
302:
This means that if a visitor or crawler goes to https://mysite.com/awesome-post-a1b2c3d4e5f6, they will automatically be redirected to https://mysite.com/awesome-post.
Summary
Congratulations on your migration to Ghost 🙌. All that’s left to do is check over your content to ensure the migration has worked as expected. We also have a guide on how to implement redirects to make your transition smoother.
