  When I try to import it over it says file does not contain a WSR file after I downloaded the WordPress site and tried to import it into the BlueHost WordPress account.

  Hm, that doesn’t sound right.

  What is the URL of the site you’re exporting from?

  http://www.allneedscovered.wordpress.com is the site I’m trying to import over to another WordPress account that is associated with a BlueHost WordPress account.

  Hi there,

  Please make sure that you’re following these exact instructions when exporting and importing the site’s contents:

  https://move.wordpress.com/exportimport-content/

  If you’re using a third-party importing tool it might be the cause of this error. Using the default WordPress Importer is the recommended method.
