  On WordPress.com, you do not have access to phpMyAdmin and database management tools.

  Please visit the following link for a clear explanation of the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
