    We can’t help as that site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform. For me that site is up and running, but if you need fuirther help you must contact Bluehost support

    Hey!

    Thanks for sharing the issue — if your local WordPress environment is only unresponsive for one website but others are working fine, it’s likely something got corrupted in that site’s files (often due to a plugin or theme conflict). Here’s how you can fix it:

    🔧 Steps to Try:

    1. Clear your browser cache or try opening the site in a different browser or incognito window, just to rule out a caching issue.
    2. Check the error logs in your local WordPress environment (like LocalWP, XAMPP, etc.) — they often show exactly what’s breaking things.
    3. Check Plugins
      If the issue happened after updating your profile or making changes, a plugin may be the cause.

    Go to wp-content/plugins using File Manager or FTP.

    Rename the folder of the last plugin you updated (e.g., from example-plugin to example-plugin-disabled).

    Now refresh the site and see if it loads.

    If it works, that plugin was the issue — you can either reinstall or replace it.

    1. Check Theme
      Themes can also cause issues.

    Go to wp-content/themes.

    Rename the active theme’s folder (e.g., from yourtheme to yourtheme-old).

    WordPress will try to load a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Four.

    If the site starts working, the theme is the problem.
