There could be several reasons why the formatting of your blog posts is not transferring correctly when moving from a temporary Wordpress site to Webflow. Here are a few possible reasons and solutions:

Incompatible formatting: The formatting used in your Wordpress site may not be compatible with Webflow. Webflow uses its own set of formatting options, which may differ from those in Wordpress. To resolve this, you can manually reformat the content in Webflow to match the desired styling.
Missing stylesheets or themes: If your blog posts in Wordpress are utilizing custom stylesheets or themes that are not present in Webflow, the formatting may not transfer correctly. Ensure that you have all the necessary stylesheets and themes imported into Webflow to retain the desired formatting.
Coding conflicts: If there are conflicts in the HTML or CSS code used within your Wordpress posts and Webflow, it can cause formatting issues. Review the code within the Wordpress posts and check for any conflicting styles or tags. Remove or modify them as necessary to ensure a seamless transfer.
Incorrect migration process: If the migration process from Wordpress to Webflow is not done correctly, it can result in formatting issues. Ensure that you are following the proper steps for exporting and importing content from Wordpress to Webflow. Double-check the exported file to ensure it contains all the necessary formatting elements.
Inconsistent plugins or features: Wordpress often relies on plugins or additional features to achieve specific formatting effects. If these plugins or features are not available or enabled in Webflow, it can lead to formatting discrepancies. Check the plugins and features used in your Wordpress posts and find alternative solutions or workarounds within Webflow.

Remember, it's important to thoroughly test your blog posts after migration to Webflow to ensure that the formatting has transferred correctly. Make adjustments as needed to achieve the desired look and feel of your content.
