  I’ve used the WordPress.org import to move to .com. I got a message that import was successful, but only the images were imported. None of my posts, comments or pages.

  I want to buy the premium package, but only if I’m certain that my posts and pages are correctly imported.

  Any advice please?

  Did the URL for the importer you used start with https://wordpress.com/settings/import/ or was it a different URL?

  Do you happen to know what version of WordPress.org your export file was made with?

  Thanks for your reply.

  I used the import tool that can found under WP-Admin: https://photosmagiquesblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/import.php

  I’ll try your URL, maybe that will work.

  My WordPress.org is the latest version: 4.4.2

  Might also try exporting again. And sometimes if an export is large, then breaking it up into chunks helps (when you export).

  Makes sense, thanks for the advice.

  How long does an import usually take? I’m waiting just over 24 hours now. :(

  I cancelled the upload and now broke up the export. Posts seem to come through now.

  Apologies for the delay in reply. An import should not take over 24 hours unless it’s unreasonably large. Breaking up the export into pieces as you mentioned is the best way to go. Glad to hear it’s working!
