  After importing an .xml backup, the import page said “Your file has been successfully uploaded. We will begin processing your import right away.” That was over a day ago, with no progress since then. Last time I did an import it was much quicker; should I worry the process is stalled? How should I best proceed? Thanks in advance.

  Hi daftojenta,

  There appears to have been an issue with the import starting on daf2jenta.home.blog, so I’ve reset the importer ready for you to try again:

  Import from Medium

  I noticed you mentioned an .xml file but a .zip file is generated for Medium exports (unless it’s a Medium “publication”) — did you mean to use the importer for this particular service?

  Let me know how you get on.

  @daftojenta, are you using the instructions here?

  https://transferto.wordpress.com/self-hosted-wordpress-org/

  I noticed the files you’ve been using are .txt, and for a WordPress import we’d expect a WXR XML file.

  I still only see text files, so something seems off.

  Also 413 means you’re using something that’s too large.

  Please confirm the full filename of the file you are trying to upload, and tell us how large the file is.

  I got it fixed using a youtube video. I split the file and then it worked right away
