  Hello. I have just imported a self hosted site into wordpress.com however I have hit a bit of a wall. Most posts with images embedded in them haven’t updated to urls from the self-hosted site to the wordpress.com site? How do I do this?

  Also, once I have everything set up and working on the wordpress.com subdomain, I do plan to use my own domain name. I assume that fixing the posts’ image urls first, will result in them properly updating when a domain is in use?

  Many thanks :)

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

  Hi,

  Please refer this link to see the right way to import the content of a self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-self-hosted/.

  Also, if you wish to continue with your current custom domain, you can map it with WordPress.com plan. See this for more details: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Find additional information on domains on WordPress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Hope this helps! :)

  Hi marketingsinghblogs

  The self-hosted site I’m importing from doesn’t have a domain name linked to it, purely an ip address, so in this instance, that guide doesn’t help as mapping the domain name won’t mean the post image urls will be correct once that is set up :(

  Thanks for the suggestion though 👍🏻

  If anyone comes across this page, please don’t worry about it right now, just about to delete all content and will re-import later.
