Media files not transferring with .xml import/export
-
I have moved the site over to hostgator, to use wordpress.org features. However, when I used the import/export tool to bring over my posts, more than half of the media doesn’t come over. I know this because, #1 – I can’t assign featured images from the posts and #2 – The media in the posts are showing a url of https://revamperate.files.wordpress.com/2014/xx/xxx_xxxx.jpg
Why aren’t they transferring over into my new host and domain and how can I fix this? Featured images are a big part of the theme I’ve had designed and also, I need to use a optimization plugin to reduce the file sizes.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The image and other media files are attachments to the XML export file. When you import you are prompted and you replay yes you want to include them. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
