    I have a site that was registered and managed on Godaddy (on a wordpress builder). I have transferred that domain to Squarespace and would like to import that site backup to the WordPress management (without Godaddy).

    When I try to upload the file it says its too large.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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