• 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!
