  Make sure you are using a valid WordPress export file in XML or ZIP format. Still need help?’

  I have done following on my existing hosting provider

  confirmed admin access
  switched to default plugin

  WP.com: Yes

  Hey there,

  Happy to help with this – to check, have you exported the content via Tools > export at the host, or have you used a plugin to export the site.

  Also, to confirm, are you importing this into ghatasinghal6.wordpress.com?

  Many thanks in advance.
