# Incomplete export – help!

 * Hi there –
    I’m looking to export my entire blog (all 1,021 posts and comments)
   to import in to a WordPress.com site that I created. I can export the .xml file
   just fine from my WP.org blog (and it’s under 15MB in size). But when I go to
   import it to WordPress.com, only 466 posts merge over. So five years of posts
   are missing.
 * I’ve tried re-running the export and import but the results are the same. Any
   tips or things I may be doing wrong? This has been SO frustrating.
 * Thank you!!

 * Howdy,
 * When running the import on WordPress.com, did the process finish? Did it give
   you any type of message, error or otherwise?
 * Another thing to try is exporting / importing specific post types on their own.
   
   When doing an export, you can choose posts and export them in blocks of a month
   or two. For most other post types (Pages, etc.) you cannot specify a start and
   stop date, but you can export just that type. (i.e., an export just for “Pages.”)
 * Sometimes this approach will get you through problems. Admittedly, it’s not as
   easy as handling only one export file, but it might get you over this hump.
 * Good luck!
