  Hi folks, I need help in migrating all the contents including themes & Plugins from a WordPress.Org site to a new WordPress.Com site.

  Is it possible? If it is then how can I?

  Thanks in advance…

  One things I forget to mention is, for tables I use wpDataTables on my existing site which is premium and purchased from Themeforest. I also want to migrate all the tables created by the wpDataTables plugin to the new wordpress.com site.

  Hi there,

  You will need the WordPress.com Business Plan to be able to use plugins on your site, and then you can also use a plugin to import your site – that is the only way as we don’t provide FTP access, so you cannot upload your database directly.

  First go to My Sites ->Plans on your WordPress.com site and upgrade to the Business Plan. Then click on Plugins and search for and install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin:

  All-in-One WP Migration and Backup

  Next go to Settings ->Security and disable the Log in with WordPress.com option – that plugin replaces the users table in the WordPress.com site’s database, so you won’t be able to log into WP-Admin using Jetpack SSO after the import. Once the import is complete you can re-enable Jetpack SSO.

  After you disable SSO, follow the instructions for that plugin to import your site. If you run into any trouble, you can contact live chat support for help here:
