  What type of site is your XML file from?

  I used google search and I think you are referring to a Xanga import.

  Note 1: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

  Note 2: Are your running a browser and version of it found at http://browsehappy.com? If not please upgrade.

  Sometimes the importer gets stuck. If the file is large you may have to import Posts, Pages, etc. in separate files. Or if the file is very large Staff may have to do the import.

  Hi @ophthalmophobic, XML is an extension that could contain all sorts of data, but we’re looking for specific patterns depending on what platform you’re exporting from. What service was your site using before?
