  Clicking on my name on one of my Posts returns a file not found. The url is: https://warburton.one-name.net/?author=3

  What is this meant to access and how do I populate it?

  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.

  Thanks for your reply., and sorry for my confusion between .com and .org. I’ve now asked the question in the right place. As for changing my host, my site is a one-name study that is hosted by the Guild of One-Name Studies. This gives benefits, particularly a legacy program, that are essential to me, so a change of site is not practical for me.

  Hi there!

  Thanks for sharing additional context. I understand you’re not looking to migrate hosting at this time. However, would you be interested in Jetpack plans? The Jetpack plans are built with self-hosted WordPress.org sites in mind. You can add powerful new features like real-time automatic backups, advanced spam protection, video storage, AI-powered assistance, and more to your WordPress site.

  If you’re interested, please check out Jetpack’s features and pricing here: https://cloud.jetpack.com/pricing

  Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
