    Hi @sagetoronto7, I want to say our own importer plugin should just work for you. You connect through Jetpack and it migrates everything. Want to give that a try?

    No matter where your site is now, you can move it to WordPress.com. This page will help you find the steps to take to migrate a site to WordPress.com. If you know what kind of site you’d like to import, click the menu option to the right to jump to that section. Self-Hosted WordPress.org Site If you have a site with another WordPress host, or a local development/staging site, you can move

    We’ll also double-check with our imports team to confirm, but I think you can go ahead and attempt an import now if you’d like.

    Note if you’re importing everything, including plugins and themes and whatnot, you’ll want the Business Plan. That will also give you access to chat-based support. You can pick it up here.

    Let us know if you have any questions! And I’ll follow up with the imports team and let you know if they have any further recommendations. Cheers :)
