  Hello,
  I am new on wordpress.com. I wanted to import my old blog hosted by Overblog using the following XML files:

  http://data.over-blog-kiwi.com/0/55/95/00/Export/1431094665-0a7dc9.zip
  export-2.xml
  export-3.xml
  export-4.xml
  export.xml

  I selected the first of the four files, and since nothing happens.
  The message indicates to me that the import is being processed.
  Can you help me, please?
  Thank you a lot!
  Have a nice day

  Sophie

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

  Hey Sophie,

  WordPress.com doesn’t support imports from Overblog.

  However, if you can run an export from Overblog that creates a filetype of one of the blogging platforms that we CAN import, that may work.

  Here is information about importing to WordPress.com, and the blog platforms from which we can accept incoming content:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  You may need to look at Overblog’s support documentation to see if they’ll export into one of those formats.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

  I have to convert my import files in the right format.
  Unfortunately, the import of worpress page is still stuck on the “Current migration”.
  Can you unlock it please?

  Hey Sophie,

  You’re all set. I’ve cleared that “stuck” job for you.

  Once you have a file in the correct format, you can run that import again.

  If it fails again, let us know, and we can further investigate the issue for you. Many thanks!

  Hello,
  The migration is still not working. The XML files appear yet in the right format:
  c-12015-05-09-22-38-59-0-0-0.xml
  c-12015-05-09-22-38-59-0-1-150.xml
  c-12015-05-09-22-38-59-0-2-300.xml
  c-12015-05-09-22-38-59-0-3-450.xml
  c-12015-05-09-22-38-59-0-4-600.xml
  Is there a solution to my problem?
  Thank you and good day.

  Sophie

  The importer was stuck again. I’ve removed the block. Since the files were generated from an unsupported site, we may not be able to get it to work, but let’s try one more time. Please try to upload a different one of your xml files. You’ll have to wait for each one to complete before you can add the next one, so it’s best to start with the smallest one.
