My import has stalled and I'd like to restart it but need a blank slate
-
Hi,
I was trying to upload my WordPress.org blog to a WordPress.com (free) blog but the import stalled. There may have been an error. Could you wipe my data so I can try importing it again?
Thanks very much,
JebThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am tagging this thread for staff attention with the modlook tag for you, but be patient.
Did you know that you may remove the contents yourself by visiting My Sites → Settings→ General (scroll down to the bottom to view your delete options).
If you choose to do this, let me know and I’ll remove the modlook tag. Thanks.
How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question?
Some issues require staff member help. If you see or add a thread that you know needs staff intervention, you can add the modlook tag to the tags area of the thread to make sure we see it. -
Hi Jeb – Please confirm which site address the import was initiated on. I’ll be happy to clear it out for you.

Hi Liz,
I was trying to import my old blog to themobileperspective.wordpress.com.
Basically TheMobilePerspective.com is expensive to host and I don’t write much any longer so I want to convert it to free hosting.
So I’d let me to format themobileperspective.wordpress.com bc when I was trying to import the old blog it stalled. I wish I knew if there is an error but I’ll have to just try again.
Thanks very much,

Hi –
The import is showing as completed.
Do you see the posts when you scroll down on the front page of https://themobileperspective.wordpress.com/ ?
How many posts should have come through the import? You can check the posts on the site now via My Sites > Posts

Hi Liz,
I should have many newer posts since 2008. On my end it shows it stalled out see link https://photos.app.goo.gl/T7SW8XjiA6nTCYIz2.Thanks,

Hi Liz,
I guess, unless you can see lots of newer blog posts since that 2008 post would you please format the site so I can try reloading again?
Thanks,

Hi Jeb –
No problem. You can give the import another try now. I’ll be here if it acts up again.

Hi Liz,

Liz,
Do you mind canceling the import or doing what ever it is you do so I can start the upload again?
Thanks very much,

Good morning. It’s no trouble, I am happy to help. Let me make sure that I am on the same page, this is a WordPress import on themobileperspective.wordpress.com?
What is the file size? You may need to split it up into multiple files if it large. https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

Good morning Liz,
Yes that’s the correct URL.
I’m not sore of the file size but there should be about 500 posts each with 1 picture. -
Great! Could you show me a screen shot of where you’re seeing the import as still there?

Hi Liz,
I don’t know how to post a pic here, do u have an email I can send it to?
Thanks,

Hi Jeb – Good morning. If you can add it to your media library on the site that’d be great. I can take a look from there. My apologies for not including that bit of information in my last reply.
