Can't view my site

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello. A few days ago I opened a WordPress blog and I have no experience in either building a blog or a website. In the beginning I found WordPress very user friendly: I could write posts, publish, add media, add menus etc AND View the site. But… now I can’t view the site anymore, not from the adm-panel, nor from a web browser. It says ‘Can’t show this page’ ‘Check the address is correct’ ‘Use a search engine’ ‘ Update the page’. I have done all that many times but to no success. I am not a skilled IT user so I need easy advice please. Thank you

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

    outofsheercuriosity.se/ is not hosted here by WordPress.COM and there is no domain mapping upgrade for it.

    https://outofsheercuriosity.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.

    Thank you for your reply. I had no idea I had deleted my site … So, how come I can still do things in my admin panel? I paid for my domain name at a Swedish Company, which I know is serious. When paying for WordPress I opted for redirecting my Swedish domain name. Could this be the problem? Thank you

  • Hi @kavatsmatte, I can see your site here:
    http://outofsheercuriosity.se/

    I can also see it’s hosted here.

    The fact that you couldn’t access it and Timethief though it was hosted elsewhere tells me that the domain wasn’t pointing in the right place yet. I can see it’s been updated very recently, and it’s now working for me, so if you’ll give those settings a day or so to take full effect (usually even a few hours is enough) you’ll be good to go.

    Let us know if you need more help. Cheers!

    Hello timethief and supernovia!

    Thank you so much for your help and concern, it feels very comforting to know there are helpful people out there, especially when you are a beginner like me.

    Yes, I was contacted by WP support, it was great! Not only did they explain how it works, they also sent me links that was not written in a (for me) difficult IT language.

    I am so greatful. I Think I am already addicted to WordPress! I also need help with adding a photo to my profile, but that’s a different forum!

    Thank you:-)
