  Hello,

  I need to import my database files to my new host site. Can you help me access those files? Bluehost can help me import them at that point.

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’ve gone through this process to move my web files and my WordPress site is ready to go – I still need the database files from this wordpress.com host.

  My new server said I needed to contact you for the database file. Can you help me locate them?

  There is no access to database files here at wordpress.com. Bluehost Staff do know that so I am not clear on why you are asking this.
  Your site content will be in an XML export file https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ that you import into your new site as stated here 3. Export Content https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/4/

  Bluehost staff seem to have been a little kooky yesterday. I didn’t need to contact this forum for anything. I’ve managed to simply go to the wordpress.com account, export the data under that account, and import it again to my website on Bluehost.

  My posts are showing now! :D Thanks for your help getting this figured out.
