Incomplete export – help!

  • Hi there –
    I’m looking to export my entire blog (all 1,021 posts and comments) to import in to a WordPress.com site that I created. I can export the .xml file just fine from my WP.org blog (and it’s under 15MB in size). But when I go to import it to WordPress.com, only 466 posts merge over. So five years of posts are missing.

    I’ve tried re-running the export and import but the results are the same. Any tips or things I may be doing wrong? This has been SO frustrating.

    Thank you!!

  • Howdy,

    When running the import on WordPress.com, did the process finish? Did it give you any type of message, error or otherwise?

    Another thing to try is exporting / importing specific post types on their own.
    When doing an export, you can choose posts and export them in blocks of a month or two. For most other post types (Pages, etc.) you cannot specify a start and stop date, but you can export just that type. (i.e., an export just for “Pages.”)

    Sometimes this approach will get you through problems. Admittedly, it’s not as easy as handling only one export file, but it might get you over this hump.

    Good luck!
