transfer files to new blog host

I have a new host and I need to transfer the files
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No problem! You can export your blog files following the steps here:
Are you planning on leaving your domain (bordeauxblvd.com) registered at WordPress.com and pointing it to the new host or transferring the registration all together?

Thank you! So I did the export thing but a lot of images and my theme didn’t transfer over. I’m staying registered with WordPress but with a diff host now

Just so I understand correctly, you’re moving from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org site. Correct?
Your theme will not transfer over with the export. You will need to set that up separately for your self-hosted site. You can find a download link for the Plane theme to use on your self-hosted site here:
https://wordpress.com/themes/plane
For images, those should all transfer over though. Have you noticed you’re only missing images on certain posts (in a certain date range)? Can you try re-importing the export file? This will not duplicate any posts, but it should bring across any missing media items.

Nope! That shouldn’t change anything. The export/import should work as normal. Did you try running the import at Bluehost? If that doesn’t work, I’ll send you the export file of your site in a broken down version. I suspect that uploading the large file is tripping a limit at Bluehost.
