  Hi there,
  Note that templates ie. themes cannot be imported.

  Is the site you have the XML export file from still online?
  If yes, what is the URL?
  Did you remove all spam, advertising, and unmoderated comments before you created the XML file?
  How large is the XML export file?

  Sometimes the importer gets stuck. If the file is large you may have to import Posts, Pages, etc. in separate files. Or if the file is very large Staff may have to do the import.

  Hi there,

  I checked, and the file you’re trying to import is indeed a Blogger template export, not your content. Please create a new export file and make sure you select the Content Backup option, not the template option. Template files cannot be imported on WordPress.com.

  Hi thank you,

  For the responses. I only have one option whilst on blogger for exporting the file. I will try again

  Are you following these instructions?

  Those are Google’s own instructions, and it indicates you should have more than one option.

  Hi guys thank you so much, I have finally moved over all my blogger content and manually deleted any pre existing WordPress posts. I now just have to categorize my posts to certain pages, do you know a quick way to do this

  If you go to the WP-Admin dashboard and click on Posts ->All Posts you’ll be able to quick-edit or bulk-edit your posts to assign categories:
