  wordpress.com not asking for the file I want to upload when I use the import function.
  It goes straight from me selecting ‘WordPress’ as the type of file I want to Import to ‘we are dealing with your import’ message. It never asks for the location of the file I want to upload to import.

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

  I suspect that the ‘we are dealing with your import’ message only means that the page is not loading properly, or slowly. I’ve never seen it. What happens you click on this link: https://peterjonesauthor.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpress, which should bring you to the import page that you’re trying to reach?

  Hi Musicdoc1 – thanks for your reply.
  I have never seen this when importing either. It has always asked for the location of the file to import before. Tried it on IE and Chrome and in both cases it jumps straight to this page – as if I have told it which file to upload and I haven’t been given the chance to.
