  Hi there! I have and xml file from my wordpress.com blog, which I need to import my wordpress.org self-hosted site. Everytime I’ve tried to upload it, I got the following error:

  File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

  Then, I’ve checked my xml file (1.01MB) and it is not empty, my php_info().. and find out that memory_limit = 64M, upload_max_filesize = 8M, post_max_size = 8M and file_uploads = On, which are the variables wordpress error tell me to verify.

  I have also created a php.ini file increasing those values and incluiding it to the following folders:

  – html root
  – wp-admin
  – wp-content
  – wp-content/plugins
  – wp-content/plugins/wordpress-importer

  But still nothing… Can anyone can help me to check if my file is correct or point to a helpful solution??

  Thanks!

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

  Your hosting provider could be interfering with your php.ini file.

  We can only support WordPress.com blogs here, and your export file does appear to be just fine. I’d recommend contacting your hosting provider about this. Make sure that you quote the error.
