  hello,

  i have made a number of WordPress sites, but never one hosted at WordPress.com, so i need a little help finding a few things.

  1. A theme I am using wants me to change some PHP settings, the same settings i have changed many times for others – can i access these here / how do i / if i can’t then how do i get them changed?
  2. I would like to create a staging site. In the past, i would simply go to my hosting, say GoDaddy for example, and clone the installation. How can i do this here?

  this is in reference to a site i am building for a client – it is not one associated with my (this) WordPress.com account.

  thanks,
  ben

  Hi there,

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you have either the WordPress.COM Premium or Business upgrade http://wordpress.com/plans and use Custom CSS, you can opt to apply custom CSS to a WordPress.com theme.

  Note 1: If you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

  I do apologize for the repetition above. It was unintentional. We are having some minor forum changeover issues. Sorry. :(
