“There are no posts…”
For help with this specific issue on your self-hosted ORG install @yeshna.com you’ll want to contact your new web hosting service, BlueHost. I’m not sure what you are seeing at your end, but at the moment there is a generic “coming soon” landing page.Help for self-hosted sites using the standalone WP software can also be found over at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.
WordPressdotcom has also written this handy guide for moving your site from COM to ORG: https://move.wordpress.com/
Once you have your WP site up and running on your new host, you can install the Jetpack plugin and then follow these instructions to move your followers and stats. https://move.wordpress.com/move-subscribers/

Hi thanks for replying
Yes there is a coming soon on yeshna.com to visitors (because the site is not ready yet that’s why I choose to put coming soon)
I have already contacted Bluehost and the website has also been created. The problem is that even though I’m following instructions from https://move.wordpress.com/ ,I am not able to export content from unsmileys.wordpress.com. and import it to http://www.yeshna.com/
That’s why http://www.yeshna.com/ is empty. Can you please tell me what’s wrong?
I don’t think I will get help from wordpress.org forum as the problem in exporting/importing content lies with my unsmileys.wordpress.com

Hello again, No, I cannot tell you what is wrong. I can only make suggestions of things to try from the WPcom side.
In addition to the instructions on move.wp.com these are the full instructions to export your content from your WPcom site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#export-your-content-to-another-blog-or-platform Try exporting again following those instructions.
Did you receive an error when downloading the export XML file? You can test if the file(s) was created successfully by importing it to an empty WPcom test site (which you’ll want to make Private).
As far as importing to your self-hosted WP site, did you install the WordPress Importer Plugin as mentioned here: https://move.wordpress.com/exportimport-content/
Also your WPcom site does need to be online and publicly available for images to be pulled in to the Media Library.
Please try the above and let me know how it goes.

I did try again using those instructions and sometimes I’m getting this message
“Sorry, there has been an error.
This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number”Yes I did install WordPress importer
Please help
Site is now online but still no posts

So it’s on the import end that you are getting that message?
Did you try searching Google for that error message? I come up with results from themeforest, so it may be theme related. Are you using one of their themes on your self-hosted site?
Although I’ve tagged this for Staff assistance, I suggest you try posting in the ORG forums and if relevant in the themeforest customer support forums.
That’s all the suggestions that I have for you.
-
Yes on import end.
Yes I google search it and someone suggested that I convert the downloaded file to WXR file which I did by adding some codes and the export was done.
But then there is no posts at all.I don’t think it’s theme related because when I was doing, there was no theme installed.
Thanks for tagging the staff assistance, I just don’t want to lose my content as I worked so hard to create them so I don’t want to lose them.

@unsmileys – Do I understand correctly from your recent comments/threads that your issue in importing your file to your new ORG site has been resolved?
