Thanks. But I have unzipped the download folder and I have the .xml file. It’s just when I choose it to import wordpress is saying “error this is not an .xml file” but it is.

I have now downloaded & tried it again from a PC using internet explorer and when I choose the .xml file and click upload file and import it blanks out the file selected.
