  Hello! I’m trying to move to a wordpress.com-hosted blog after doing self-hosting on Dreamhost for several years. Unfortunately, the size of the exported file is greater than the 15MB limit imposed by the import feature. I tried splitting the XML file into two appropriately sized chunks, but the import of the first file hasn’t finished in over 48 hours.

  I’d actually like to stop the current import since I exported only the posts originally. I’d prefer to import all content, but is there a way to do that since the file is so large?

  Thanks so much!

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

  Hi there,

  I have deleted the import job. Can you please try running the import again?

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