Is my export file messed up?

    I’m moving from WP.com to WP.org. My old blog has about 300 posts and over 2,000 comments. In my old blog I went to Tools/Export. It’s giving me an .xml file that’s about 5.8 MB.

    When I imported it to WP.org, only 1/3 of my posts were there, they were in a random order, none of the comments were associated with the posts, and the images imported but didn’t associate with the posts.

    I’m trying to figure out if the problem is with the export file or the import. Can someone tell me if this sounds normal, or like my export file is messed up, or whether I should blame WP.org’s importer?

    Thanks!

    I would recommend trying to import a smaller file by filtering your export XML file. You can do this by a date range after going to your Tools -> Export page.

    It would also help if you could send us a copy of the XML file you’re uploading to your self-hosted install. Thanks!
