  Hi there,

  If you wish to transfer your website to WordPress.com from Joomla then you will need to have Business Plan Upgrade.

  Then you can install FG Joomla to WordPress plugin to transfer website here at WordPress.com
  https://wordpress.com/plugins/fg-joomla-to-wordpress/

  It is using joomla 1.3.4 platform and it has limitations.

  It has been tested with Joomla versions 1.5 through 3.8 and WordPress 4.9 on huge databases

  I am not sure if 1.3.4 platform is compatible with this FG Joomla Plugin. Lets seek assistance from staff to clear about this.

  You also option to transfer it to WordPress.org
  
  Found these resources if you want to transfer to WordPress.org

  This forum in which you have posted is actually for sites hosted on WordPress.com only.

  If you need further help, please feel free to ask your question over in the WordPress.org forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/

  You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:

  You can learn here about the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted (WordPress.org) sites if you’re not sure.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Good luck!

  We’re not able to comment on the compatibility of a plugin for the open source WordPress software, with a particular version of a completely different CMS, as we don’t control either of those pieces of software. You’ll need to contact the author of that plugin for this type of information.
