  Hi,

  When I go to my blog page, which I have as a business website, it goes blank and says ‘Oops! Could not find Brocour.org

  However, I can enter the Dashboard, edit pages etc.

  Can anyone help!?

  Thanks a lot,

  James

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m afraid you’re in the wrong forum. This support forum is for free WordPress.com blogs. You appear to have a self-hosted WordPress.ORG install hosted by Serverbase. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Please visit the WordPress.org support forum for assistance as we won’t be able to help you here: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.

  Hi,

  Thanks a lot.

  I’ve no WordPress.org installation in my computer, does that still mean it’s the wrong forum!?

  The WordPress.org install won’t be on your computer, but with your web host. Your domain’s nameservers are currently pointing to Serverbase which means they’re supposed to be hosting your website. That’s why I said it appears like you should be on WP.org.

  Did you buy the domain for use with a free WordPress.com blog? In that case you’ll need to buy the domain mapping upgrade from that blog’s dashboard (Store ->My Upgrades) and then contact your domain registrar and ask them to change the nameservers from Serverbase to WordPress.com to have that domain point to your blog here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you don’t have a WordPress.com blog and are trying to set up your own website from scratch, then you need to be in the WP.org forum.
