    My homepage which is a post has a huge gap at the top where it says ‘add title’ which I can’t rid of. If I click the option to stick to the top of the page a weird blue box appears that says ‘featured’. So is it either have a huge gap at the top or this blue box? Very annoying is wordpress!

    Hi there, could you let us know the URL of the site you’re having trouble with?

    Please bear in mind that we are able to help with sites that are hosted here with us on WordPress.com, but for sites using the WordPress software from WordPress.org, there is a community forum at this address:

    Hi Yes it is matthew-mcguinness.com

    thanks!

    Hi there,

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host matthew-mcguinness.com on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions. You can learn more about the performance and security benefits of our managed hosting here: https://wordpress.com/hosting/

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at iPage. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, and we offer a migration plugin that will help you move your site to our managed hosting in just a few clicks.

    The Move to WordPress.com plugin allows you to start migrating a self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com directly from the self-hosted site. Prerequisites The Move to WordPress.com plugin installed on your self-hosted WordPress site. Jetpack version 7.9 or higher activated on the self-hosted site. All incompatible plugins deactivated on the self-hosted site. ✅ Th

    Unfortunately though, as it stands now, we are not able to help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Also you may wish to make sure that your blog post is not set to be a “sticky” post… in my experience this usually will add some kind of “featured” icon on many different WordPress themes.

    Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
