  Hi,

  I’m considering moving from a self-hosted WordPress blog to the WordPress.com domain. However, in the import settings, it shows that the max file size is 15MB. However, my exported file from my self-hosted blog is ~29.5 MB.

  How do I import this file?

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

  I believe you will have to create several XML export files:
  Posts, Pages, etc. and import them individually.

  Hi @patrix,

  I’m going to reach out via private email to get the import file from you. I’m happy to split it so you can upload 2-3 parts separately!

  Hi Jeremey,

  Never mind. I figured out a way.
