What do you mean exactly by this statement? It’s quite ambiguous.
Take note that there are two (2) possible variations of Wordpress.

  1. Wordpress as an open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP.
  2. Wordpress (wordpress.com) as a web hosting provider for Wordpress CMS.

Your statement implies that your website has already been hosted on wordpress.com and you want to migrate it to another web hosting platform – Google Sites. For me, it’s unlikely that you want that to happen as you shouldn’t have posted an issue on the Infinityfree forum. But who knows? I could have been mistaken. That’s why I want to ask for clarification. Please answer any of these questions:

  1. Do you want to transfer your website from Wordpress to Google Sites?
  2. Do you want to transfer your existing Wordpress installation from Infinityfree and change your web hosting provider to Google Sites?
  3. Do you want to transfer your existing Wordpress installation to Google Sites without changing the web hosting provider?

If you’ve answered “yes” to the 1st question, then you shouldn’t ask for help on this forum. Infinityfree and its forum have nothing to do with it. You should ask for solutions on Wordpress forum instead. Had you used Infinityfree as a website provider, you would have been allowed to post your problem and ask for help on this forum. But you didn’t.

You can host your website with Google Sites if you want. But note that Google Sites is a website builder, not a regular website host, so you can’t migrate your entire WordPress website there.

A quick web search tells me that there is no import feature in Google Sites. So if you want to host your website there, you’ll probably have to recreate it by hand through Google Sites.

Finally, note that if you have a custom domain name, then you will be able to change the DNS settings and point it to the servers from Google. Free subdomains cannot be hosted on other hosting providers.
