  I’m trying to create a website but the system isn’t sending my confirmation email OR allowing me to activate any themes.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  Please check in your email client spam/ junk mail filter as well as your “social” tab in Gmail, if you use it. I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there!

  Are you still having trouble with this? Can you tell me what theme you’re trying to use?

  I’m having a similar issue: tried to apply a theme and did not receive a confirmation email, nor did the site re-format. The site looks exactly the same. I’ve worked on wordpress before, I’ve just never set one up on my own.

  @judith1217x – I’m happy to help if you’ll follow up with the URL of the site you’re having trouble with and the theme you’re trying to activate.

  The Edin theme has parents and children, correct? I’m trying to set up a website, not a blog. Perhaps I’m mistaken as to what wordpress can be used for? Is there a person to talk to, instead of emails?

  Hi there!

  We don’t do phone support, but I’m happy to help you out here! You can definitely have a professional website without a blog using WordPress.com. We have a guide for setting that up here:

  Let me know if you have more questions that I can answer!
