  I am using Bluehost and have installed WordPress.org; however, I can’t get my domain to my .org in order to import my information. I can’t seem to make the transition. Help!

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  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:

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  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 it’s right for you:

  In regard to your domain, the guide below explains how to transfer the domain name to another registrar, including how to access the authorization (EPP) code:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  Alternatively, you can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.
