Typepad Will Shut Down on September 30, Permanently Deactivating Blogs and Accounts

Users have until September 30 to export their archives in Movable Type format for migration to other platforms.

Overview

  • Subscription billing ends on August 31, with Typepad planning prorated refunds for recent payments.
  • After the shutdown date, account settings, blogs, and all associated content will no longer be accessible.
  • Export tools provide Movable Type Import Format files that can be imported into WordPress.
  • Typepad stopped new signups around 2020, and a March response to a user said support would continue, suggesting the decision is recent.
  • The service launched the same year as WordPress and was used by major publications before losing ground in popularity.
