  Hi! I have this new .wordpress.com page now. In the past i used to use .info domain with personal host. Now since I didn’t paid for domain anymore i want to move here with all my database, archive and stuff. So the problem is i can’t import my database. I tried to log on my host which redirected me to phpmyadmin page and from there i exported a .xml of my data. Then in here after i tried to import the data it says: “Sorry, This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number”. I also tried to log on name.info/wp-admin but it redirects me to the old expired .info domain (name.info/wp-admin). So i’m a little confused. Suggestions? I don’t wanna lose my database

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

  No, you cannot import databases here. You can import blog contents, but nothing of a higher technical level.

  Create an export file, not a straight database. That’s on the Dashboard->Tools->Export. Then on your WP.com blog, go to Tools->Import and import the file there.

  i can’t export from my dashboard because it redirect to old-domain.info/wp-admin which i don’t own anymore.

  so mai dababase starts with:

  <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
  <!–
  – phpMyAdmin XML Dump
  – version 3.4.3.1
  – http://www.phpmyadmin.net
  –
  – Host: sql.hostname.com
  – Generation Time: Jun 02, 2012 at 06:12 AM
  – Server version: 5.5.16
  – PHP Version: 5.3.5
  –>

  <pma_xml_export version=”1.0″>
  <!–
  – Database: ‘database name’
  –>

  ends with :

  </table>
  </database>
  </pma_xml_export>
