.xml import not displaying

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello. I have followed all of the steps on the import support page regarding importing my .xml file from one WordPress site to another. Unfortunately, the new site doesn’t seem to be displaying anything but the default template.

  • Hi @wp246810!

    We might need staff to look into this one for you to know for sure what happened with your import – I am tagging them here, you should expect someone to jump in soon with some more info for you.

    In the meantime, could you confirm the site you need help with is https://wp2468.com/?

    Further to that, I noticed your blog is currently protected – if you would like to make it public, I could take a look and let you know if anything was imported successfully – let me know if that’s the case and I’ll jump in to look. Sometimes the theme might look “empty” because some things import via the importer, and some things don’t. You should expect posts and pages to import for example, but things like images and front page setup might need to be done manually.

    Looking forward to helping you on this one.

    Hi there,
    I could be wrong but I believe the import process only includes the content from the website like posts, comments, pages, categories, etc. You may still need to choose a theme to give your content a certain style. Check this link on exporting .xml files as well.

    Hi wp246810 ,

    As shaunfelicien mentioned, it’s only possible to import posts, pages, comments, categories, tags, and references to your site’s images. The theme itself will not be imported so you will need to choose one from our Theme Showcase:

    Come back to me if you have any questions.
