    Hi there,

    You can export content from .com site and import the content into .org site:
    Export Content:

    In your WordPress.com dashboard, go to My Site → Manage → Settings and select Export under Site Tools at the bottom to download an XML file of all of your content. Click on the arrow next to the Export All button if you want to select specific content items to export.

    Import Content:

    In the WP Admin area of your self-hosted WordPress site, go to Tools → Import → WordPress.

    If it hasn’t been installed yet, you will be prompted to install the WordPress Importer plugin.

    Choose your file, click Upload file and import, and select the option to Download & import file attachments and import your XML file.

    You can find the detailed steps with images on this page:

    Hi there,

    Did you get a .zip folder, or a .xml file in the export on our end?

    If you got a .zip folder, you need to unzip it on your computer, and import the individual .xml files inside it.

    For more help with importing on your self-hosted site, please ask in the WordPress.org forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    We have no access to or control over the importer on your site on that end.
