  Thanks @geoffreyshilling :)

  @mrsguptasquared your posts appear to have imported. Can you double check to be sure they’re all in place?
  https://wordpress.com/posts

  Can you also make sure your media library has the same number of images? I just want to be sure they all came through properly.

  thank you for all your help thus far…it seems I had not transferred the website over properly so that has been the stem of the problem… in the process of doing that and then will do everything again (switching to a different theme hence the chaos)…will keep you all updated!

  Okay @mrsguptasquared, if you need help, let us know. We can empty the site and re-import for you, for example. But you do have several posts and media items imported, so I’ll leave it as is for now.

  Regardless of the theme, please double check your media library and posts to be sure everything came through. Thanks!

  Okay @supernovia so the transfer is complete. I have the new theme up but two problems. I am getting a 404 error code and I do not know how to upload my old content.

  I Exported the data and got wordpress importer on my computer.

  That address is not hosted here. Can you clarify whether you are trying to import to a site on our servers? Which site are you exporting from, and which are you importing into?
