  Have you used the Travelpod instructions: http://www.travelpod.com/blog/2017/05/15/wordpress-import-intructions/?

  Once your TravelPod content has been exported, head over to the Import area in your settings:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/import/

  Make sure you unzip the file before you upload :)

  Hi –

  Please let me know if you’ve unzipped the file as timethief has mentioned.

  Yes it’s all working now. Weird as it would not “unzip” on my office Computer (Windows) but now at home on my MAC it is working.

  I still have to deal with all the photos but at least the blog posts are copied over to WordPress.

  I still don’t know if I’m going to use WordPress because I haven’t investigated to see if it can be used while off-line as a lot of our travels are off-line for a while and I like to blog and then publish when I have Wi-Fi.

  Thanks all for your help!!

  Hi –

  That’s great news! As for the images, you’ll need to add those manually back in to the posts.

  WordPress.com supports off line editing. There’s more information about that in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

  Let me know if you have other questions.
