  Hello,
  Today, I had to delete manually all my posts, after having exported them to an xml file.
  Then I edited that xml file to update references that pointed to my old wordpress.com blog and have them point to my new one (I changed only the root URL)
  Then I uploaded the xml file and waited until the process was done (I received the email saying that it was successfully completed)
  When I did a quick check to see if everything was ok, I noticed that some older posts were not there as they should be.
  I looked into the xml file, and they are there.
  What happened?
  What should I do?

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

  Fortunately, the missing posts were only older ones, easily isolated through the use of a dummy blog where I could create another xml file with only the missing ones (but still doing the same changes I did at first).
  After uploading those post, they all showed.
  So, my main conclusion here is that the changes I did in the xml file didn’t cause the issue.
  But, since it is solved, you may close this topic if you want.
  Thanks anyway
