The main steps are preparing for the migration, exporting the files, and then importing the files to your new location. WordPress offers a paid option that will guide you through the process, or you can simply follow the directions below in order to accomplish the same migration task for free.<\/p>\n\n<p><a name=\"preparing\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Preparing for the WordPress.com Migration<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">Make WordPress even easier. InMotion Hosting now offers super fast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/wordpress-hosting\">WordPress Hosting<\/a> to meet all your blogging and business needs with.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you have a WordPress.com site and you want to migrate the site onto our server with the WordPress.org version of the software, then you have several steps to complete if you intend to perform the transfer yourself. You will need to do a few things in preparation for migrating your WorPress.com site. You will need to install WordPress and the WordPress import tool in preparation for the migration from your WordPress.com site. If you have a lot of media files, then you may want to simply download your media files and then upload them separately.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>Install WordPress on your InMotion server<\/h3>\n\n<p>First, you will need to install WordPress onto the domain that is hosted with InMotion Hosting.\u00a0 This can be done using the Softaculous installation application available within cPanel.\u00a0 For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/manual-wp-install\/\">please read our article on Installing WordPress<\/a>. Also, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WordPress Education channel<\/a> to learn how to build your WordPress site on your InMotion server.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Install the WordPress Import Plugin<\/h3>\n\n<p>After you have installed WordPress on your InMotion Hosting account, you will need to install the <strong>Import tool<\/strong>. Follow the steps below to complete this installation.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"article_list\">\n<li>Login to the WordPress Administrator Dashboard<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/wpcom-to-wporg_menu-tools-wp.png\" rel=\"lightbox-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"float: right; margin: 0px 0px 15px 15px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/wpcom-to-wporg_menu-tools-wp.png\" alt=\"select Import from menu\" width=\"100\" align=\"right\"><\/a>Scroll in the menu at left until you see <strong>Tools<\/strong>.

The tool is supposed to be able to export all content which includes: Posts, Pages, Order, Product, Feedback, and Media. There are cases when the media files (images, video, audio, text files saved in the media library) may not export if you select \u201cAll content.\u201d If that is the case, then you should download the files from the media library and then upload them to the new WordPress installation\u2019s media library. WordPress also now offers a $129 (as of the date of this article) <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/en.support.wordpress.com\/guided-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\">guided transfer<\/a>. If select the guided transfer option, then WordPress will help you with moving the content. This article gives instructions on how to use the <em>free export<\/em> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">Note that there is no direct download option in the WordPress.com interface for the media files. You can go into the Media library, view the file and then right-click to save each image. However, if you wish to get the original image size and resolution of an image, or if you need to obtain a video, audio or text file saved in the Media Library, we recommend seeking out the original source of the file and saving them in a folder for the purpose of migrating them to the new location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using the Export Tool in WordPress.com<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li>Log into your Dashboard at your old WordPress.com site.
