Change to self-host
-
I’m changing my blog to self-hosted, but I’m asked for the database file of my blog. How can I access it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
We do not have access to the database. You have to create an XML export file. http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
-
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
3. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/
4. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/Read more here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/08/31/moving-your-blog-from-wordpress-com-to-wordpress-org-resources-and-tips/
