  I am trying to import the .xml from old blog to new blog. I can download it from the old blog, but when i try to import it on the new blog it keeps saying:

  Sorry, there has been an error.
  The file does not exist, please try again.

  What can i do to import it?

  What version is the WordPress site you are exporting? If you don’t know then post a link to the old site and maybe someone can see what version it is. If the version is way old you might need help from the staff as once in a while the WordPress software changes the way the data is configured and if you try and jump to many versions there can be problems

  Howdy, still stuck on this? If so, could you send an email to support@wordpress.com and mention this forum thread? If you could attach the export file you were using to that message we’ll be able to take a look and see what’s going wrong. Thanks!
