Accessing WordPress.org
-
I downloaded WP.org using LocalWp and created several test sites. When I attenpted to login to wordpress after this it will not accept my credentials. I tried creating sites over and over and the credentials never worked. The reset password link does work either. I don’t know how to proceed and non of the providers that I am using have support.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
WordPress.org and WordPress.com are 2 different things. Any account you have on WordPress.com couldn’t be used on self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org).
So, if you want to use self hosted WordPress (WordPress.org), you must make a new username and password other than you used on WordPress.com
I hope this helps.

Hey there,
As mentioned, on these forums, we can only assist with WordPress.com related issues. Therefore, I wanted to remind you about the option to migrate your WordPress site to our servers.
The content alone can be moved by exporting from Tools > Export, and then imported as per these steps here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/ (Tools import). To get the storage you need, and to be able to use a custom primary domain, a paid plan would need to be in place: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Alternatively, a site can be migrated into WordPress.com, as is – including all content, themes and plugins. We make the migration process easy with the WordPress.com Migration plugin, which you can find at this link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/.
A site being migrated into WordPress.com using this plugin would require a WordPress.com Business Plan.
We provide a fully managed hosting service with a custom server environment, specifically optimized for WordPress. This means you’ll benefit from built-in security measures, performance improvements, and in-house support to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Migrating your site to WordPress.com may initially seem like a daunting task, but the advantages of our fully managed hosting service outweigh the effort involved. With our optimized server environment and tailored version of WordPress, you’ll have access to the best possible hosting service for your WordPress website.
However, if you decide not to migrate your site to WordPress.com, don’t worry! We still want to ensure you receive the help you need. The open-source WordPress forums are available to provide support, where you can connect with experts in WordPress who are well-equipped to assist you with any issues you may encounter.
We hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you for considering WordPress.com as your hosting solution!
