Hi there,
I’ve taken the time to look into your website and noticed that it’s actually using the WordPress.org software and is hosted by a different provider.
WordPress.org is the same foundational software we use here at WordPress.com, but it’s set up a little differently. Because of this, the specific help you may need can be different. To get the most appropriate help for your issue, I’d recommend posting your question in the official WordPress.org support forums, which you can find here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.
That said, I would also like to mention an alternative for you. You can migrate your website to WordPress.com. We are a managed-hosting platform, which means we take care of all the maintenance and security tasks so that you can focus on creating content for your website. We also offer dedicated WordPress support through both email and live chat to ensure your questions or issues are handled promptly and efficiently.
If this sounds like something that could interest you, we’ve built an easy-to-use tool specifically for migrating WordPress sites from other platforms to WordPress.com. You can learn more about how to use this tool here: https://wordpress.com/support/import-using-move-to-wordpress-com/
You can also take a look at our various plans and what they offer on this page: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
If you have any other questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to discuss, don’t hesitate to let me know.

WordPress Staff, you’re right – what I saw was WordPress software filling in the site to show me what it might look like. My face is red! BUT I did follow all the steps your AI chatbot told me to do in case it was for real – and now, if I panic and think a nefarious intruder has been into my site again, I can follow those steps.
Sorry I played Chicken Little and thought the sky was falling. I’m a novice at building sites and didn’t look closely enough to see the site was okay. Ipsum lorem and I go way back, but the new procedures throw me.
Thanks for answering so promptly! twccoauthor
