  Hi there, I have to move one of my blogs over to Godaddy self-hosted and having problems with the export file, which seems to be corrupted. Importing it into the new wp environment doesn’t work and GoDaddy tech support says they can’t read the file = corrupted.

  This blog has been around for a while and has undergone many changes (also URL), but this is an important one so please help :)

  I moved another blog a few days earlier and that one just worked fine (but the blog was much younger and smaller).

  The export file is only sth like 4 MB large and GoDaddy allows much more, so that isn’t the issue.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey Florian!

  Keep an eye out for a personal email from me.

  I’m going to rerun your export and send you a link to the file.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Hi Robyn,

  thanks for your help! There are two xml files in the zip folder. Is that intentional? One ends with 0001 and the other with 0002. Do I have to import one after the other?

  Seems like that’s normal and the way it should be, your chat colleague just told me. Thanks again for the fast reply!
