Transfer of blog content

  • I am trying to export content from ajedrezmalaga.wordpress.com to ajedrezmalaga.info.
    The created “export file” does not contain any posts.
    Once imported, although categories are showing on the dashboard they do not show on the site.
    The image library from ajedrezmalaga.wordpress.com has been imported to ajedrezmalaga.info but the images are not attached because the relevant articles have not been copied.
    After repeating the export/import process several times, I have not been able to produce an export file that includes articles.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I get the same result except that this time there is only one .TXT file in the Media Library. There are no posts being imported.

    I have tried many times to import the files (creating a new export file each time and deleting graphics that had been transferred) but the posts are never imported.
    I tried changing the theme just in case that was a problem but it made no difference.
    Do I really have to use copy and paste?

    No. Did you try contacting the folks at wordpress.com about this?

    The Wordpess.com site is a little less than helpful but it would seem that the only way to transfer the blog contents is to redirect the wordpress.com blog to the new domain. This is a paid sofware and it is not exactly clear how well it works. It appears that copy and paste is the only way to get the posts from ajedrezmalaga.wordpress.com into ajedrezmalaga.info.
    Thanks very much for trying to help, I appreciate it.

    I take it that WordPress will not allow transfers to sites that are not hosted by www.ads-software.com. Is this something that will be remedied or is it policy for ever?
    I must say, the wordpress.com site is phenomenally user UNfriendly and there seems to be no way to ask a question that you cannot find in the search.

    www.ads-software.com does not host any sites

    OK.
    I will try https://en.forums.wordpress.com/ to see if anybody there can solve my problem.
    Thank you.

    Ah well – was recommended to try again here. I did see a post that sugested Chrome might be the answer so I will try that.
