  Hi there, to move your WordPress.com site to a self-hosted WordPress.org site, please follow the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/export/

  Please also keep in mind that WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Hi there,

  We do not offer SQL database access to free WordPress.com sites, but if you upgrade the site to our Pro Plan it does allow you to access the database, source file via FTP, as well as upload plugins and themes.

  More info about the Pro Plan here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  For our free sites, because there is not SQL access, you will need to use the process outlined here: https://wordpress.com/support/export/

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
