I've tried several times to import WXR files generated by the self-hosted blog site. Each time the posts come through just fine, but none of the pages are imported. I've looked at the WXR file and it appears to contain valid content for the pages, so it seems like the problem is on the WP.com side. Am I missing something?

FWIW the self-hosted blog is running WP 3.5.1.

I have performed a simple experienment, by creating 3 blogs in wordpress.com to test the importing feature.

Result:

Blog A: 602 posts, 8863 comments, 993 images
Blog B: 602 posts, 8863 comments, 858 images
Blog C: 602 posts, 8863 comments, 900 images

As you can see, posts and comments are fine, but the number of images imported seem to be random (they are from the same WXR file) and around 50% of them are missed.

Are there any limitation on migrating image during import from WXR?
(I can provide the WXR file if you want to test)

And is there a limit to the total size of a WordPress.com blog?

Probably some limit to the number of servers in the world or something like that - the only space "limit" is the 3GB of media (pictures, uploaded files etc.) for no charge - if you fill that up you can purchase an upgrade for more space - the good news is that text is free - yes you can write all you want and there is no limit to your writing

I don't know if the format in the above page is outdated but could find a specification for WXR.

For example I import a WXR file in a newly installed wordpress blog but categories don't show.

And another thing is the attachaments. How can I import them?

I downloaded the posts from my old blog (it's a .xml file) but can't upload it successfully into my blog on wordpress.com: after I chose the file and uploaded, it says: "This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number"

I think I've done the downloading correctly, so I don't know what's missing. The problem is that the domain I bought is already gone, and my old blog doesn't exit anymore, so I can't go back and download again. If there's no solution to my problem, it means my around a hundred of posts for almost ten years would be gone forever, and that'll be a catastrophe for me.

I do need help on this, for I really want to take my posts and put them back to my blog. Or, is there any way that I can transfer my .xml file into a wxr one?I really appreciate if anybody can help, thanks!

However I tried to import this, and first time only 49 ports were imported. Second and third times, 55 posts were imported. This seems to be a long way off the total. It is not clear where or why it stops importing, and there is no error message.

I can prove the original WXR file if that would help.
