  I want to import my Squarespace blog, but when I go to the Tools > Import dashboard, Squarespace is not listed as an option among all of the available platforms (blogger, typepad, etc). How do I upload my .xml file I exported from Squarespace to my WordPress.com site?

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

  Thank you for your quick reply and assistance. I had read that article and it seems simple, but Squarespace is not an option for me on the import page. Please see the screenshot below. I’m perplexed.

  I found the proper section under “plugins” thanks to your screenshot Darnell. Thank you! Now I’m having issues due to “This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number” (sigh) but I just started a new support post for that. Thanks again!

  @sacredbe can you confirm what site you’re trying to import into? The screenshot you sent looks like wp-admin rather than the interface we typically use with sites hosted here.

  Noting too, these forums are for the sites hosted and managed here at WordPress.com. If you need help with an individual WordPress installation you’re running with another host, you’ll want to use the correct forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
