  I’m trying to import my blog from .org to .com. I’ve tried all the options you have available from moving your blog from WordPress to WordPress and nothing is working. It starts the import correctly and I receive an email that says it was successful but when I go back to the blog nothing happened. So it’s saying it imported successfully when really it didn’t import at all. Can you help me?

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

  I’m talking about another blog. The site is down for the blog I’m trying to import but it’s http://tijuanabecky.livingproof.us. The file was exported while the blog was up and importing it into .com is not working.

  How big is the file? If it’s too big, you may have to break it up into chunks by date to import it.

  It’s like 30KB, not even 1MG.

  How many posts and images did the old blog have? I’m wondering if the export file even contains anything at all? That seems very small to me.

  http://tijuanabecky.livingproof.us had at least 200 posts and had some images.

  http://tijuanabecky.livingproof.us/ is not a blog on WordPress.com, and the 502 error is coming from that blog.

  You’ll need to contact your hosting provider to clear that up.

  Yah .livingproof.us is down right now but I did the export when it was up. Does that blog need to be up and running correctly for it to import to WordPress.com?

  If you checked the option to import media files, the blog will still need to be online.

  Please try importing the file again. It won’t duplicate anything, and it may pick up what it missed. However, I recommend getting a new export file if you can.

  When I click on WordPress for the import it says that it’s still processing my import and will send me an email when it’s done. It’s said this for a day now.

  I have cleared out your previous import. Please try again.

  Thanks Macmanx. I told it to import again and received the email saying it was successful but all the posts from that site are not there. I think it’s importing everything but the posts or something.
