  I’ve never heard of that happening so I typed modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.

  Hi there,

  I can see only two posts and five pages on the site you linked here. What is the URL of the site where you did the import?

  The imported checks the URLs of the posts you’re importing, and won’t import a post if it can find a match in your published, draft or trashed posts. But if you import to a site that uses a different permalink structure, like on a self-hosted site, that won’t work. There is no way to reverse the import in such a case, and you’ll have to delete the duplicate posts manually.
