  Hi there,

  After downloading your xanga.com .zip file, did you extract it or double click on it to convert to a folder? If so, Inside the folder, you should have a few files with the .xml extension. These are the files (.xml extension) you should import. Also, try using the WP Admin dashboard. You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)

  Have you read this support document?:https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

  Let me know if this helps.
