  I have a site under a WordPress account for my university that I am trying to transfer to a new WordPress account. These instructions (https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/) instruct to do the following:

  ‘Open the My Blogs page. Move your mouse over the site you would like to transfer and click the Transfer Blog link that appears. You will only see the option to transfer a site if you own it.’

  I do not see a ‘My Blogs’ page when I login to my university access point to WordPress. I do see a ‘My Sites’ button at the top left of the screen but it has no such transfer link.

  I do not care about the URL and ideally would simply create a new WordPress site with a different URL that is otherwise identical. However, when I ‘export’ my site and import it to a new site, none of it actually is imported.

  Advice?

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

  Hi thebrettgall,

  If URL doesn’t matter, you could simply export posts and other contents from your current blog and then create a new blog under new account and just import it.

  Export: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
  Import: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  Hope this helps,

  Hi,

  I do not see a ‘My Blogs’ page
  Near the top of the Transferring a Site to Another WordPress.com Account support page, you’ll find the following notice:

  The instructions from this guide are referring to the WP Admin dashboard. You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)

  For example, the My Blogs page of the username thebrettgall account may be found here: https://thewisdomofcrowdsblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs.

  I do not care about the URL and ideally would simply create a new WordPress site with a different URL that is otherwise identical. However, when I ‘export’ my site and import it to a new site, none of it actually is imported.

  Was there any error message accompanying such an import failure?
