How Can I Migrate Google Plus Comments to Blogger Comment Fields?

Google has decided to shut down Google Plus, and this decision has an unexpected effect on blogs running using Blogspot. Most of the Blogger bloggers enabled Google Plus comment feature on their posts. Since the Google Plus feature is going to its end, Blogger has no option to show Google+ comments. This change will not affect the Blogspot bloggers who have not activated Google+ comment feature, but for others, it is a piece of bad news.

This article checks the scope of migrating the Google+ comments to Blogger Comments or retain those comments under the blog posts.

Look at the screenshot below. It is the warning I have received from the Blogger team today.

According to this warning, Blogger will remove all Google+ buttons integrated with Blogger themes. Any custom made themes with the Google+ button will not work even if the button remains.

This message says that the support for Google+ comments will be turned down, and all blogs using Google+ comments will be reverted back to using Blogger comments.

Another shock is the removal of Google+ Followers and Google+ Badge from the template. We are no longer able to use them.

The Blogger Social Share button no longer shows the Google+ button.

The million-dollar question is whether we can migrate the comments made from Google+ profiles to our Blog and retain there? The important portion of the warning tells the Blogger view on this question.

I have highlighted the important part of the warning. That portion is, Unfortunately, comments posted as Google+ comments cannot be migrated to Blogger and will no longer appear on your blog.

How Can I Migrate and Keep Google+ Comments on Blogger Blog?
We do not have any tools available yet to migrate Google+ comments to Blogspot. However, there is a workaround for this problem.

It is a very boring process to copy the Google+ comments and publish them as new comments using the name and URL field.

As long as Blogspot is not ready to provide any automatic migration tool, it is the only option.

But before doing this, I recommend you to take the backup of the posts and comments using the Blogspot Comments and Posts Export feature.

It helps to save the existing posts and comments on our computer. To do this follow the steps below.

  1. Log in to your account and on the dashboard click on the Settings
    Export comments

  2. Click on the Other
    backup your Blogspot comments on your Phone

  3. Click on Export blog link
    Blogspot comment backup and migration

As far as I know, many bloggers are unhappy about this new policy change.

How to Hide JioFi Wireless Network By Making Invisible From Others?

JioFi Hotspot is one of the most popular WiFi Hotspots available in India. Though the WiFi signal has WPA2-PSK encryption protection, we can do a little more. One of the extra precautions to avoid unauthorized access to your JioFi network is to hide them from other devices. Which means, no other devices will see your Jio Wireless broadcast while scanning for all available networks. This tutorial teaches you how to make JioFi WiFi invisible from others.

Let us see how to make Jio WiFi invisible from the public and hide from potential hackers.

How to Hide JioFi Wireless Network From Others

It is very simple to make Jio Wireless Network invisible from other devices and prevent them from connecting to it.

All you have to do is to disable the SSID broadcast from the GUI of Jio WiFi Hotspot. I suggest you connect the JioFi router to your computer using the USB cable to perform it.

Once you have connected PC and the Reliance Jio router using a USB cable, follow the step by step instructions provided below.

  1. Type http://jiofi.local.html on the address bar of a browser and click the Login link.

  2. Use administrator as both username and password.

  3. Click on the Login button


  4. Click on WiFi from the left menu. Click on the drop-down menu at SSID broadcast and select Disable.

  5. Click on the Apply button at the bottom of the window. Now the Jio wireless will restart. After the restart, no other devices will see this JioFi broadcast.

  1. Click on the Wireless symbol on the system tray to scan all available networks.

  2. You will see the signal from Jio 4G Hotspot as one of the hidden networks. Click on the hidden network to connect.

  3. You need to type the SSID (WiFi Name) to proceed. After typing the password, you can connect to the invisible JioFi WiFi signal.

Once you have made your JioFi signal invisible, no one can connect it without the SSID and Password. If you do not reveal the SSID to anyone, it will be difficult for someone to identify your WiFi.
