  Hi there,

  By looking at the import log it looks like you’re trying to upload an HTML file. To import content on a WordPress site you need a WXR file and not an HTML one.

  If the site you’re exporting from is hosted on WordPress.com follow these instructions:

  Export Your Website’s Content

  If you’re exporting from a self-hosted one, then follow these instructions:

  https://transferto.wordpress.com/self-hosted-wordpress-org/export-your-existing-content/

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
