  Hello,

  I want to import a website from wordpress.org to wordpress.com, I saw that this is possible with export and import plugin. (The images and articles format will also export? or only the text?)

  And also, can I also the products from my Shop – Woocommerce plugin export and import? If I choose Business plan 25/$ from wordpress.com?

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  You don’t need a plugin to import to WordPress.com. You can just go to My Site ->Settings and click on import, and then upload the .xml export file you got from your self-hosted site there.

  Keep in mind the self-hosted site will need to be online and at the same domain it had when you created the export in order for your media files to be imported correctly.

  You will also first need to create a new WordPress.com site at https://wordpress.com/start/site/ before you’ll be able to import to it.

  And also, can I also the products from my Shop – Woocommerce plugin export and import? If I choose Business plan 25/$ from wordpress.com?

  To use WooCommerce on WordPress.com you will need to have a Business Plan, but then you’ll be able to use the import function in that plugin to import your products, yes.
