Importer not importing entire website

Until recently I have used wordpress.com with my own domain name. This year I decided to change over to hosting on bluehost and transfer my website to www.ads-software.com.

I have spent hours trying to get this to work, I am currently exporting my website using the export function on wordpress.com that provides me with an .xml file for the website. I then upload this .xml file to www.ads-software.com and let it do its thing.

So far I have tried the following:

– Just use the xml file
– split the xml file into many smaller xml files and use each one by one
– change PHP version to 7.2 (original 7.0)
– Tried to get FTP working but I couldn’t get this working for the time being
– Increased the timeout and max upload limits in the PHP file in the home directory of bluehost.

I am pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. Splitting the xml file into a number of smaller files has semi-worked. The website could now be best described as increadibly broken but the theme, some images and some text are all there, however formatting and links are broken.

Can someone please just give me any potential routes to get this to work?
