How do you export blog into WordPress.org when its only importing image files.

  • activetastylife · Member ·

    I have tried several forums on wordpress.org and wordpress.com and have not had any luck finding an answer. I export my blog and all its contents from wordpress.com and then import into wordpress.org with the correct admin user and import all attachments, but I still get this page in WordPress.org: http://www.flickr.com/photos/75378009@N04/9743741114/

    I wanted to see if I was doing something wrong with exporting the wordpress.com file, since I have already changed to host via Bluehost. However I had an earlier blog exported file from before the change in hosting and it still didn’t work.

    Any help would be great.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi Alexa,

    That error would, at first glance, appear to indicate that you have previously imported that same media. Are the images present in your Media Library on your new site?

    You can still access the old dashboard for your previous WordPress.com site by visiting http://lampnsofa.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ in case you need to export the file again.

    Please let me know if you need any help and I’ll see if we can help!

    I actually finally figured it out! I had to edit the HTML code to specify the author name for my wordpress.org account, because it was different than .com.
