Hello!

I used to have a wordpress.org blog a long time ago. I’ve been searching all over the internet and the forum pages on how to convert sql to xml in order to salvage my blog and upload it to wordpress.com, and it appears that the only way is to maybe send it to a staff member here.

Is this something that staff can still help me with?

Thank you!

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

Hey @f4c3p0wnt

You can instead take an export from your WordPress.org site in XML format.
Here is an article explaining the export options:

Once you have an export you can import it to WordPress.com site.
Here is a detailed article explaining the process:

I hope you find this helpful,

Regards,

Ah! Thanks, but unfortunately, I no longer have access to the old site. I only retain the sql dump.

In the interim, I’ll try to set up an xampp thing and see if I can’t create a test site and export to myself…

We’ll see how that goes. I’ve been googling and youtubing this for the past hour, haha.

Thank you though!
