  Hi there,

  I follow the instruction from https://wordpress.com/support/coming-from-self-hosted/ and believed that it’s quite straight forward to achieve but I was wrong.

  Can you give me some help?

  Here is the problem:
  1. I exported ‘All content’ from my old .org blog
  2. I created new .com site with different email
  3. I tried to import the xml file from (1) to the new site
  4. I got an error which says ‘API calls to this endpoint have been disabled.
  Make sure you are using a valid WordPress export file in XML or ZIP format.’

  Please help, thank you :)

  Hi there,
  Can you be more specific about the site address?

  Hi there,

  Are you trying to import content to https://gqblogtest.wordpress.com/? And what is the original site’s URL? Is that site still online?

  Make sure you’re uploading the file at https://wordpress.com/import/gqblogtest.wordpress.com – After selecting the WordPress option on the import page you need to click on the link to upload a file. Migrating your site by just typing in the URL on the /migrate page requires our Business Plan.
