So @GooglePlus is closing on 2 April. Want to save or export your content? A thread on what worked for me for exporting to @wordpressdotcom and some other considerations.
I used Google+ Exporter: https://gplus-exporter.friendsplus.me/ It can download all of your posts, pages & communities. 1/
Your imported #GooglePlus posts will retain their original published date on your #Wordpress site, so it is a neat solution. I suggest spending some time quality controlling. Some of my old G+ posts are just me resharing articles and those posts have little value to my blog.

If you don't have a
#Wordpress website (or Blogger), the other option is to export directly from Google and archive all your#GooglePlus posts and data. Good news is you can save your G+ contacts as vCards https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1045788 … Examples: https://9to5google.com/2018/10/08/how-to-download-google-plus-data/ … /11Show this thread -
What to do about your
#GooglePlus followers and communities? Write a public post on G+ directing to your preferred social media accounts, or your#Wordpress or wherever you've republished your G+ content. Might be worth also pinging your cirlces so they get a notification. /12Show this thread -
How to import your
#GooglePlus into a new social media community on Facebook or Twitter? Tough! If you import your#GooglePlus to#Wordpress as drafts, noting this is not easy, set up@IFTTT or@buffer. This would auto-post to your social every time you republish a G+ post. /13Show this thread -
Alternatively, if you want to just preserve your
#GooglePlus content & ever want to refer your new social media community to an old G+ post, then you might consider setting up a new#Wordpress, which is searchable, and just link to republished G+ posts on Wordpress as needed. /14Show this thread -
If your
#GooglePlus community is private, then you must preserve the privacy of your members. You might set up a private#Wordpress website to republish old posts, which means people can only read posts with by registering as users on your website. https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ … /15Show this thread -
Recreating a community on another platform is not easy. Bear in mind that managing a
#Wordpress community is hard work & so archiving#GooglePlus posts on Wordpress does not guarantee your G+ followers will be motivated to become members of your new site/ community. 16/Fin
