  I have a site on the business package of WordPress. I’ve installed theme and plugins. Now I want to move my complete site from here to self-hosted host. I’ve tried several free and premium plugins but none of their export work due to WordPress.com restrictions. I’ve run out of option and if there’s any practical way of doing it rather then manually , I’d appreciate if you can let know

  Thank you

  Have you followed the instructions on this guide? It assists you on migrating from a WordPress.com site to a self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site.

  Hi jennymitts –

  Please confirm which site you are working on. There’s not any history of a business plan connected to the user account you’ve written to us from here in this post.

  @strikbuys, Thanks but it only allows XML export. Not theme, plugin, etc, basically, it’s not migration rater then simple data export

  @lizkar , I’m building a client’s site of which I’ve shared access of. He has business package.

  Thank you

  What is the site URL?

  If the client adds your account to their site as a contributor you will be able to access live chat support via wordpress.com/help/contact/ I think that’d be the easiest and fastest way to help you get this sorted.
