Hi everyone,
UPDATE : This article was updated on 2/11, due to some issues reported regarding My Opera blog export.
I know many people have been waiting for this. We are happy to finally provide a way to import your My Opera blog to Vivaldi blog. Please follow the following steps to successfully migrate your My Opera blog to your new home at Vivaldi.
If you want to migrate your blog from WordPress, we can also import it for you on Vivaldi.
Step 1: Log in to my.opera.com
Step 2: Hover your mouse over the wrench icon on the top right corner and click “Account”.
Step 3: Click the Blog settings link
Step 4: Click the big blue “Export your blog”button
Step 5: Wait for an email from My Opera. The email contains the link to where you can download your xml file
Step 6: Send the file using your Vivaldi.net Mail account to [email protected]
This is very important as we use your Vivaldi.net email account to correctly identify which Vivaldi account to import your xml file
Step 7: Wait patiently for your blog to appear on your Vivaldi account. It may take some time depending on the number of requests we get.
That’s it!
Please let me know if you have any questions or issues.
Is this working for mobile as well? Some of the my.opera users only used mobile, maybe even only a console ;-(
Tatsuki, you should put this Info over on the Vivaldi Feedback area on the Forum as well and / or in the – How to / FAQs thread. Because this post can quickly disappear from here on the front page depending on how many posts get published and how quickly.
@Lucky, Yes. As long as your mobile browser supports file download, it should work. You just need to send us the downloaded file according to the instruction in the article. cheers,
Actually, on second thought, instead of in the Vivaldi Feedback subcategory … maybe it should be in the Vivaldi MAIN category. That way it gets quicker and more prominent exposure than if it is a little bit more hidden one step deeper in the Vivaldi Feedback category.
Well, it’s just an idea. Just thinking out loud. Just trying to help with getting more of the MyOpera people over here.
Is there any risk if my Vivaldi blog contain already some posts created before importation of oldest post from My Opera. Will the chronological order be respected ?
ra-mon, chronological order of the previous posts should be respected. Previously created blog post on My Opera appears according to the dates of the original posts based on our test.
Suntana, thank you for the suggestion. I created a new topic and made it sticky under Vivaldi Feedback category for now. I will see if we should create a new category or not. Cheers!
You are welcome, Tatsuki.

Thanks again for doing all this for opera users 🙂
I don’t seem to be able to get my.opera files , but that’s a my.opera problem or me making a mistake.
I”ll try again or else I’ll do it blog by blog. I have an archive of my blog on my pc already so I have an available back up and time even if I end up doing it manually , I still have that solution.
I seem to have found it now although I never an e-mail from my.opera mail. It is called “main” , it’s a zip but vivaldi mail says it’s more than 5 MB so too big to go though the mail. I’ll try again…one step at a time I’ll find out what I’m doing wrong…
sent and waiting 🙂
thanks to vivaldi team
done … thanks 😀
crazyaboutmika, it seems My Opera is facing some issues with generating archive at the moment. We informed them about it and they are looking into it. If you get your archive, you just need to send us .xml file. Not the whole zip file to avoid large attachment over email.
XML file contains all the information we need to import your blog.
Cheers
Thank you so much for the great support tatsuki 🙂 It’s greatly appreciated 🙂 I’ll try that way .
I exported the blog XML via “Account > Blog settings > Export your blog”.
That way only the blog XML was generated.
The limit of max 150 comments per article is intentional?
Seems archive generation is broken now as I only got main.zip with all my files and photos but no blog-xxxxxx.xml (no such XML was found inside main.zip also).
Yes, seems this is the only way now.
Works for me.
[quote]Wait patiently for your blog to appear on your Vivaldi account. It may take some time depending on the number of requests we get. [/quote] But how long it may take? Hours, days, weeks?
My blog still not being imported after 20 hours…
It took a While for me also. THen I got an email from the blog-import team that there were errors in the XML file. After correction the file did not show errors but it still would not import.
I had to re-export the XML file. I checked it myself.and found an unsupported character (±) that was the culprit.
As I am no expert on XML this took a while but learned a lot.
Sorry, fatal but the guy who does the blog import is traveling this week. So you will have to wait for a little. You should have your blog up next week though.
Hello . I have a question. Is it possible to “migrate” my old emails (received and sent) from my opera email? Thank you.
Yes, you can. And here is how to do it.
https://vivaldi.net/blogs/entry/how-to-move-your-email-from-my-opera-to-vivaldi-mail
I keep trying but I never get opera’s e-mail with the link to the archive..however I do find an XML file in the files section of my.opera which is probably my archive.
I’ll try to send it again in an e-mail and see what happens…last time I tried it was too big to be attached . I hope I’ll be luckier this time 😉
I’m not very tech so thanks so much for this tutorial 🙂
I do have a HTTP website copier fonctional copy of my my.opera blog in my pc that works fine offline …but that’s not any use to transfer it on vivaldi.net
I’m sorry but I have changed my mind and I prefer to upload my poems one by one and without comments so I will do that myself. Thanks and sorry for wasting your time. Have a good week end everyone =D
my xml file was over 5 mbs so I zipped it and emailed it I don’t know if it will work in a zip format ? 🙁
it won’t work to net addy only com
OK. understood. should be OK.
Done! Mail has been sent — I’m curious if it works? :p
WOW! 😮
That´s awesome! The transfer is even better as at wordpress.com. Much more complete!
Thank you very, very much @Vivaldi Team!

My file *.xml is over 5MB, how can I send attachment file???
How big is it? If it’s smaller than 8mb, you can send it to me via PM.
If not, can you upload the file somewhere and send the link to the email address specified in the instruction?
Okie, my file about 6MB
I’ll send you, thx you very much 🙂
Pls, allow attachments to the blog posts larger than 2 MB. Need to publish some mp3 files up to 10 megs.
Is there much backlog with imports ?
I have imported 2 sites to WordPress already 🙁
does anybody know how to upload photos via vivaldi email account?
I forgot my password and can`t get new password from myopera ? What now ?
