  Hi @mvincent1979,

  Before migration, you have to make a choice whether you want to host your site in a managed WordPress.com environment or you would want to host your site with a third-party hosting provider like Godaddy and then install an open-source copy of WordPress.org there.

  If you are unsure about the difference between self-hosted open-source WordPress.org and managed WordPress.com, go through the following:

  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  You will require a plugin called cms to cms to transfer your Wix site to WordPress.

  In order for you to install this plugin in a managed WordPress environment here in your account, you would need to be subscribed to a business plan.

  However, if you choose an open-source copy of WordPress installed at a third-party hosting provider you can install the plugin without any subscriptions.

  The steps for Wix to WordPress migration will be as mentioned in the article by Hostinger:

  How to Transfer Wix to WordPress – A Beginner’s Guide

  Hope this helps.

  Best :)

  Hi there,

  Are you trying to import to https://redlandscounselling124753460.wordpress.com/?

  It looks like the importer on that site had become stuck, so I’ve reset it for you. Please try importing your Wix site again as described here:

  @mrsnlchauhan,

  No plugins are required to import Wix sites to WordPress.com, as WordPress.com has an importer for that service built in, available on all sites, including the free plan.
