  I’ve created a rss feed of my weebly blog and when trying to import the information it doesn’t seem to work at all. I have just received and email saying ‘We are sorry, but there was an error while performing your blog import to http://holupholp.wordpress.com’

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

  Hi there. Unfortunately it’s not possible to import an RSS feed to WordPress.com, only an XML export file, and you can’t generate one of those from Weebly.

  You’ll need to import your RSS feed to another service that does support it (I think Blogger does, but I’m not sure) and then create an XML export file from that service which you can import here.

  See here for more info on importing content: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  I have no idea how long importing an RSS feed to another service takes, but importing the XML file here depends on how big the file is. It can take more than an hour if you have a large number of posts to import.

  The importer also gets stuck sometimes. That’s why you’ll see a message on the import screen that if it takes more than 24 hours you should notify staff. If it’s still showing as importing after that time, you can let us know right here in this thread and add “modlook” to the tags to mark the thread for staff.
