  I exported my WordPress blog from a self-hosted domain as an XML file.

  When I tried importing it on WordPress.com, it gives me an 413 status code for ‘POST /sites/26076094/imports/new’ error

  Why is this? Of note, I have ~2,000 posts as the XML file is 120MB. Is it because the file is too large, and if so, how should I get around it?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi there,

  You can try splitting the file before importing it to your WordPress.com site.

  You can follow the steps mentioned in this article to split the files: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-split-large-xml-files-in-wordpress/

  Hope this helps!
