migrate to wordpress hosting
-
I am trying to move our two blogs to a self hosted server. I can export the .xml file (870 K) but I am not able to import it. The import keeps stalling. I did extensive online searches for a solution, trying at least three tutorials, step by step. No luck. I finally tried WXR Splitter which did not help.
What is the trick?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there!
I see that you’ve run exports for your sites: hughloftingtimberframe and hjlcms. Can you tell me what the error is when you try to import those XML files? Have you already installed WordPress.com on your self-hosted server? If so, are you using Tools → Import to do the upload?
As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
I can certainly help with the export files, however, if those seem to be causing the issue.
If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if itâs right for you:

Please give me more details, and I can help further. Wishing you the best!

Thank you for the prompt reply. My problem is with the import of the wordpress.com site to a new wordpress installation. I just tried doing the import on my laptop using MAMP. Still no luck.
It seems the post content is imported but it does not appear on the site. I am using the same theme, etc. but there are no posts listed in the Posts panel.

Hey there again!
Instead of using MAMP, try the Tools → Import feature in your WordPress Dashboard:
That should keep the process simple and streamlines. Let me know how that works! Thank you!
