  Hi there,

  Live Chat is a feature of paid WordPress.com plans:

  If you tell me what you need help with, I can help you here :)

  What is the URL of the blog you want to transfer to Squarespace?

  Let me know and we’ll go from there.

  Thanks for being willing to help. The URL of the blog is: https://rthurstonphoto.wordpress.com/. I just need one XML file will both words and images to be able to import to squarespace but when I access the export options through wp admin it is exporting 4 different XML files that don’t work. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi there,

  admin it is exporting 4 different XML files that don’t work.

  Larger blogs will include more than one .xml file and each file will need to be unzipped and then imported individually.

  The .xml files contains references (image URLs) which are used for the import process. Squarespace should import the images for you:

  https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206543957-Importing-content-from-WordPress

  If that isn’t working, I’d recommend contacting them to see why they aren’t importing. Just be sure not to delete any images or mark your site as private before the import process has finished.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
