 * Hello,
 * I want to import on my new wordpress.org an XML file from my wordpress.com old
   website (XML created with the build-in wordpress Import/export of wordpress.com)
 * I doesn’t worked well with the wordpress importer plugin (fail to import media,
   posts contains pictures but still linked to the old website) that’s why I tried
   your plugin WP advanced importer but I get an error too :
 * > Invalid XML
   > XML Parsing Error: not well-formed.
 * which is really strange as it is a “official” wordpress.com export
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-when-importing-wordpress-com-xml-file%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Wp Advanced imported imports the XML file data into your WordPress site. Kindly
   validate your XML file in the following link [https://www.xmlvalidation.com/](https://www.xmlvalidation.com/)
   to check and know the errors.
 * If the issue still persists kindly send your XML file by creating a support ticket
   at [support@smackcoders.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-wordpress-com-xml-file/support@smackcoders.com?output_format=md).
 * Thanks,
    Muthukumar.
