Exporting all contents to wordpress.org

    I’ve been creating a website on wordpress.com (vitality768.wordpress.com) and I want to export all the contents to a domain I have that is powered by wordpress.org (vitalityrehab.com.my).

    On the wordpress.org site some key features I need to copy my site over are missing. For example, I had been using the theme ‘Dyad 2’ on the wordpress.com site. However, on wordpress.org I can only seem to find ‘Dyad’, which is a major issue since I need the logo feature (under site identity) for my website, which is available on ‘Dyad 2’ and not ‘Dyad’.

    What is the simplest way of copying all of my website (vitality768.wordpress.com) to the other website (vitalityrehab.com.my) so that everything is exactly the same?

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

    Hi there,

    You can download the Dyad 2 theme from WordPress.com and upload it to your WordPress.org self-hosted site.

    Just click the download button at the bottom of this page:
    https://wordpress.com/theme/dyad-2

    To export your content please follow the instructions here:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

    Then follow the instructions on how to import it into your WordPress.org self-hosted site:

    There is no way of doing that. You can export your content, i.e. posts, pages and comments, from WordPress.com, but that’s all. Your settings and theme customizations cannot be exported, as the WordPress.com software doesn’t work the same as the WordPress.org software. The self-hosted version of a theme also won’t work exactly the same as here on WordPress.com.

    @taniametalli has given you all the relevant links to move your content above, but you can also see this guide for more info:
