Error importing to a self hosted site!
-
This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number

Hi,
Just to clarify, are you importing FROM an existing WordPress.com site TO a new hosted site using the WordPress software from WordPress.org? What is the URL of the WordPress.com site you are importing from?
-
Yes i am importing from the wordpress.com site https://slowtemplelovecozmicpurplehealing.wordpress.com/
to a self hosted site the theme is differet and i installed a few plugins. -
-
Make sure you’re uploading the .xml file, not a .zip file.
If it’s a .zip file, you’ll need to expand it and then upload the .xml files inside.

Thank you verymuch, but now i have time out error 408, fockin tromp and his killing of net neutrality, btw i probably have to upload the media manually
-
As a first step I would recommend the following:
– turn off all plugins on your slowtemplelovecozmicpurplehealing.org site (except Jetpack and the WordPress importer plugin)
– import your XML file one at a time here
– once your imports have finished, you can then turn on all plugins againNote: Because your site is so large (over 1000 posts) it will take some time ant patience to import due to the amount of data that needs to be brought over.
Hope this helps!

thank you very much, i not tried out your method but tried to upload the smallest xml file out of the zip archive, i don’T know if it uploaded but the wp importer prompted me with a download of a admin.php file, what the prolblem of that programm it has issues!

Hm, at that point we won’t be able to help.
Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted elsewhere.
Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
Your hosting provider’s support team may also be able to assist.
