You cannot upload a zip file. Per the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/ you’ll need to upload the wordpress_export_1.xml file, not the one you tried to import. Please see what Staff amightywp says in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/posterous-download-zip-folder-will-not-extract-for-import?replies=14#post-1242796

Are you trying to import the “wordpress_export_1.xml” file?

If so, do you see any error messages? If so, would you please quote the error message?

If not, please describe the trouble you’re running into.

I downloaded wordpress_export_1.xml .
I got error on the page when I press import (export from posterous) and won’t explain the type of error.
