Transfering blog to Hostgator site. Need to find out details of my blog
-
Hi
I’m moving my old blog to become a subsection of my website hosted on HostGator. On the transfer page it wants the following details of my old site.
IP / Hostname
Control Panel URLHow can I find this out?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Howdy,
That’s for other self-hosted WordPresses. Since you’re moving from WordPress.com, this guide is for you!

Hi Chris
I have tried using that guide, however I have problems with the import/export part. The import only seems to bring in some posts, some categories etc. It’s not a particularly large file so I’m not really sure why? (I had read that when they’re big export files you need to break them up but mine is about 1.4mb.
-
Can you try importing the file again? We take care not to import the same posts twice, but it will sometimes bring in posts that haven’t yet been imported.
-
I did try twice, first time was a complete export and second time was purely the posts? No luck. Still many missing
-
Alright — can you drop us an email, and attach the export file? We’ll have a look. :)

Hi Chris
To be honest I dont just want the posts, I want the whole layout and theme of the site if possible, under georgedevereaux.com/lipslikehiroshima. Is that possible?
What email address shall I use and shall I put a reference in?
-
No that’s not really possible. The entire site will generally have the same basic appearance, unless you contact a developer to build a custom theme to keep the separate sections looking different.
Our email is help at wordpress.com
Just replace ‘at’ with the @ sign.
