Hey, I am here to help with this.
To clarify, WordPress.com isn’t blocking exports to Blogger in any way. When you export your site using Tools → Export, we provide your content in a
.xmlfile using the WordPress WXR format. While this file has an.xmlextension, it’s structured differently than what Blogger requires, which is the Atom XML format.That’s why you’ll need to convert the file before importing it to Blogger. However, many converters out there aren’t very reliable, which may be why your posts aren’t showing up after import.
A commonly used tool that tends to work better is:
https://wordpress-to-blogger-converter.appspot.com/Once you run your export file through this converter, try importing the new file into Blogger. If it still doesn’t work, Blogger’s import tool could be rejecting the file due to size, formatting issues, or limits — unfortunately, that part is out of our hands.
It would be best to check with their support, as they can guide you more effectively with their import tool.
Lastly, I’d like to mention that your blog https://feastofthesacredheart.wordpress.com/ was on the free plan, which means there was no fee involved. Could you clarify what cost you’re referring to?
If you’d like to discuss anything further or need help, please let us know.
