    HTTrack is website mirroring software and the file it creates isn’t suitable to upload here at WordPress.com. The procedure is to export your content as an xml file (not theme and menu settings) from a variety of blogging platforms and then import that xml file into a WordPress.com site.

    Hi there,

    @themagicrobot is right, you will not be able to upload the files you downloaded with HTTrack here at WordPress.com.

    As far as I know, HTTrack downloads a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer (however, HTTrack can’t copy databases or .php file) – because of this, I’m pretty sure you will not be able to export from the downloaded website an .xml file that will be valid to be imported here at WordPress.com.

    Actually what you downloaded is not a WordPress website, it’s a HTML website. In this situation, I think all you need is a web hosting service where to upload the downloaded files and not a WordPress.com account.

    If you have questions or concerns, please let me know and I’ll be happy to further assist you!
