    Hello, I wonder how can I migrate back from bluehost hosting to be back with WordPress. Any recommended actions I need to take?

    I’m doing 2 things from support AI’s responses
    1) I got a back up file (tar.gz) from bluehost. Once I tried to import (option fron WordPress) – it said the file is too big.

    2) I export all content (xml file) and once tried to import on WordPress, it says API calls to this endpoint have been disabled.

    how can I do all those under the free plan?

    Thank you

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes
