  Hi Corinna –

  Is there an error message or any other details that you can share with us? What site did you create the export from?

  Thanks Liz,
  this is the message the import team sent me: well, he sent the image inside his reply and not as an attachment so I cannot even share it with you! most annoying and time-wasting.
  “A cause of the issue is your firewall policies(our servers can’t reach your blog) :

  Could you disable it for a few minutes and try to rerun the importer?

  Thanks,”

  Thanks. Let’s keep digging.

  So when I go to http://corinna.rf.gd/ I can see that it’s not actually on the WordPress.com managed hosting environment. It looks to be set up with the open source WordPress.org software — which is the other version of WordPress. Help with WordPress.org comes from a different forum at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  If you are exporting a site from the WordPress.com managed hosting environment all you have to do is follow these steps: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  But again, I think you are using the other version of WordPress.

  These are the step-by-step instructions I found on Wix’s support site. These are the steps that you take to import on to their platform: https://support.wix.com/en/article/importing-blog-posts-from-wordpress-to-the-new-wix-blog

  Is that what you’ve been doing?

  As far as a firewall, I’m not sure if they are referring to a WordPress setting itself or a firewall that is in use on your browser.

  It’s going to be hard for us to provide much more help than this since we don’t have access to the site, it’s not on our service, and we can’t see any details.

  Thanks, Liz,
  Yes, indeed these were the steps I took, to no avail.
  A friend had set my blog on that WP hosting. He moved it there temporarily, from a .com position to save it from extinction until Wix allows import, that is until these days. Indeed both of us couldn’t find any firewall. I’m afraid Wix did not recognize the org source of the rf.gd family. Is there any information that might help the Import team at Wix to solve the issue and bring my poor wounded blog from WP to Wix safely home to my new site over there?
  Gratefully,
  Corinna

  Since the source is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, we really can’t help with that here.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
