How to import wordpress database from personal host to this wordpress.com accoun
-
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.
