can't import my xml
-
I have created a site at totallymotion.wordpress.com and have exported it as an xml
on my 3rd party server host (123reg owned apache server) I have installed the CGI Script ‘WordPressBlog’.
Using my browser I go to http://www.totallymotion.com and I see a wordpress sign in, I sign in with my totallymotion.wordpress.com details and then import the xml but it fails :(
(Also, the Theme and Premium level account that I’ve paid for on totallymotion.wordpress.com don;t appear on http://www.totallymotion.com even though I’m signing in with the same username and password).
I’m confused…. thanks in advance for any help folks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. http://www.totallymotion.com/ is not a WordPress.COM blog, but a self-hosted WordPress.ORG install. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
(Also, the Theme and Premium level account that I’ve paid for on totallymotion.wordpress.com don;t appear on http://www.totallymotion.com even though I’m signing in with the same username and password).
If you bought a theme and premium account from WordPress.COM you won’t see it on your WordPress.ORG site as the two are completely separate.
If you want to use the custom domain with your WP.com site, you’ll need to cancel your hosting account and follow the instructions to map that domain to your WP.com site here (the premium upgrade you bought already includes the domain mapping: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
If you want to have a self-hosted site you need to cancel your premium upgrade on WP.com and request a refund for your premium theme (only possible if it has been fewer than 30 days since you bought it): http://en.support.wordpress.com/refunds/
Then you’ll need to buy whatever upgrade plans are offered by your hosting provider and buy a premium theme from the WordPress.org theme directory and install that theme to your self-hosted site. Please visit the WordPress.org support forum for assistance with this as we won’t be able to help you here: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.
Here is a link to the WordPress.org version of the Swell theme you currently have active on your http://totallymotion.wordpress.com/ site: http://themetrust.com/themes/swell/

that’s amazing, thanks so much. Will cancel my upgrades and switch to .org (didn’t even realise that there was 2 versions ;)

No problem :)
The people in the .org forum can help you set things up on your self-hosted site.
If you run into any trouble with cancelling the upgrades on your .com site, let us know.
