  Hello,
  Since it took WordPress.com staff member to solve the problem in that other post (thanks for the link), I’ve tagged this one for their attention.

  Hi there,

  I exported your Squarespace XML file over to redbandanaeu.wordpress.com. Please check the blog and let me know if everything imported correctly.

  Thanks!

  Hi Darnel, thanks for your help! Some of the posts are there, but many posts, pages, categories, etc. are not :/

  Could it be fixed?

  Hi there,

  I changed a few settings and re-imported the content from the XML file. If you can check the site again and see if any of the missing content has appeared. Thanks!

  Some of it, yes, but still about 20 articles are missing. On the screenshot – under each category, there is content: http://pasteboard.co/133DzSRP.png

  Hi there,

  I wanted to see if we can completely empty the site and do a fresh import of the content? If you have any media/images that needs to be exported over, your Squarespace site must be activated and accessible during the import.

  Let me know if I can try the import on my end. Thanks!

  Thanks! I can add the images manually later, the posts are more important :-) Yes, please, go ahead and try whatever you think might help.

  Hey there,

  Yes, it took a while, but I believe the ~20 categories you were looking for was imported. The custom menu needed to be created for this particular theme in order for you to see them. Please check the site and let me know if everything looks okay.

  Again, if you re-activate your Squarespace blog, your images will import over. The site needs to be accessible in order for your WordPress blog to pull them over for you.

  Thanks!
