    Hello,
    I’ve got a little problem and have no idea whether I can solve it.
    I’ve got an old wordpress.com site with my own URL and I would like to link my new wordpress org content to this site. I think I can’t import the whole content on wordpress.com because the theme I use is a Premium theme from themeforest.
    Could anybody tell me whether it’s possible to use my “old” URL for the new content?
    How can I do that?
    Sorry, I am not very experienced in working with wordpress.
    Many thanks,
    Carmen.

    True, you cannot use any outside themes on WordPress.COM sites. Are you now going to only use the WordPress.COM site? If so, you can EXPORT the data from your self-hosted site and import it to the WP.COM site.

    Yeah, but it’s not only about the content, I want to import the content + the theme I used on ww.wp.xz.cn.
    I already done as the link you just sent described but unfortunately that’s only the content import but without the theme.
    I guess I have to move the domain I bought for wordpress.com, right?
    To make it clear: I just want to use the wishdomain.com I bought via wordpress.com for my new ww.wp.xz.cn site. :-/
    Many thanks for your help!

    That’s an entirely different question. Just set the nameservers to your new host –

    http://www.whois.com/whois/wishdomain.com

    Where is your new site hosted?

    The new host is hosteurope.
    Don’t know the name servers of my wordpress.com wish domain.
    I just thought maybe I don’t have to move the domain and could get there by moving the theme and content to wordpress.com.
    That’s why I was asking such confusing things. 🙂

    Yes, it’s confusing. But you cannot use outside themes on WordPress.COM – ever. Or plugins. So if you want those, you need to set this up on your new host.

    So ask them what the nameserver settings are.

    Then go to where your domain name is registered – looks like it’s here:
    http://www.instra.com/

    Based on this:

    http://www.whois.com/whois/wishdomain.com

    And change the nameserver settings there to your new hosting company’s settings.

    Yes, I will try to do that. Many thanks for your help! And sorry for confusing you. 🙂

    No worries – it IS confusing :)! You’ll get it sorted and unconfused though!
