Hi there,
I’m happy to visit your website and share my opinion with you.
This is a WordPress.com forum, the website you are using is built on open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org), which is hosted elsewhere rather than WordPress.com.
To avoid confusion about WordPress.com vs WordPress.org please know the differences from here https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
WordPress posts can return 404 errors because of problems with permalink. You can fix the problem by updating your permalink settings from Settings » Permalinks in your WordPress admin.
To avoid these challenges, I suggest migrating your WordPress site to our servers. Using Tools import you can import your site here. Please follow the steps here https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/ (Tools import).
Here you can choose the plan that suits you best: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Though initially it’s a bit of a frightful task to migrate to WordPress.com, the benefits are beyond imagination. WordPress.com sites are fully optimized and you don’t need to think about security issues or any server issues :)
Nevertheless, if you are not ready to migrate your website, you can still solve your challenge by following the solution mentioned above.
Moreover, here you’ll find the forums of WordPress.org : https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ .
I hope it will help you. Let us know here for more queries.
Thanks in advance for considering WordPress.com as your hosting solution! -

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!
