In reply to: Importing XML file to WordPress.orgHey, sorry for delay in replying. I’m afraid I don’t see the problem. As I understand it, it should be possible to import a blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org
Anyway, eventually it imported all the images, but they were imported one at a time. As in I had to go through the import process repeatedly until all the images were imported. I also had to set up the page pretty much from scratch as the widgets and so on weren’t imported either. But I presume that’s somewhat normal as wordpress.org uses plugins more than widgets..Anyway, thanks for you help.
Regards, Conor

In reply to: Importing XML file to WordPress.orgOk, I uploaded the XML file again, only this time I didn’t tick the ‘Download and import file attachments’ box.
The posts all uploaded, but the blog is in a bit of a mess, and obviously none of the JPG files uploaded.
I was using the Oxygen theme, so i’ve installed that again. But it still look nothing like it did before I started the process of moving from WordPress.com
None of the Widgets or columns were uploaded, although the tags and comments and categories were!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Importing XML file to WordPress.orgI log into my WordPress account, go to the dashboard and click on Tools>Import;
Then WordPress,
I choose my XML file from where I’ve save it previously and then click ‘Upload and import’
The XML file is uploaded as a TXT file, and it also uploads the 1st JPG image from the first post I wrote when my blog was on WordPress.com
If I try to upload it again, I get another xml_.txt file and another JPG image.
I wonder if I kept importing it would I eventually get all the media uploaded, and then just delete the xml_.txt files?
Although that obviously seems like a very unorthodox method!
