  Hi there,

  I don’t see any attempted imports on the site, http://chobaka2012.wordpress.com/

  Can you please confirm which site you’re trying to import to, which import option you’re using, and from which service you received the file you’re trying to import?

  Yes, it’s http://chobaka2012.wordpress.com/, and you don’t see any attempt because it was never successful. Keep getting the same error message

  Hi there,

  Please make sure you’re importing a .xml file in WXR format. You can read more about the importing process here:

  So does that mean I can’t import .wpress file? Is there any way to use this compressed file to open the pages?

  @chobaka2012, where did you get a .wpress file? WordPress exports .wxr files typically, and that’s what our importer expects:

  I did some searching and it looks like it’s part of an All-in-One WP Migration plugin. According to this, you need to have that plugin installed for it to work:

  And, you would need the Business plan to install any outside plugins.

  Noting too, not all plugins work here. If this one disconnects Jetpack, for example, it could give you some trouble. So if you do decide to buy a business plan so you can use this migration tool, please be sure to contact support directly if you have any trouble with the site.
