The only way I can get it to work is to post in the wordpress.com, export it. I change my theme to the default with the green title (can’t remember the name at the moment), and then import–It only works without the attachments for me.
Once everything is imported then I changed the theme back to duotone and it works fine.
Of course, this is far too much work to make a website act correctly. Also, all of the photos are still on the wordpress.com site so it defeats the purpose of moving.
I never heard back from anyone on this, but I’ll update if I ever figure it out.
