    I have been working on a website online and then I downloaded the WP for MAC desk top and I want to work on that site on my computer and possibly off line.

    I need help doing this.

  • Hi there,

    The WordPress.com Desktop App for Mac and PCs is specifically designed to work with sites hosted here at WordPress.com.

    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.

    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 your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You may be able to use the app if you download Jetpack on your self-hosted site – this plugin allows you to connect a WordPress.com account to your self-hosted site and access many of our advanced features powered by Jetpack. You can see the pricing and features of Jetpack’s plans here. Once you’re connected, Jetpack users can access their self-hosted sites from the desktop app, following these steps.

    You also have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin and choosing the business plan during the move.

    I hope this helps!
