  Hi there,

  You cannot upload a site created in GitHub Pages to WordPress.com. Sites created in GitHub are essentially hard-coded static HTML sites, while WordPress is a content management system that stores site content in a MySQL database, and dynamically generates HTML code server-side using PHP.

  You can move the content from the GitHub site to a new WordPress.com site by manually copy-pasting each page into a new page on the WordPress.com site. But you’ll need to use a theme specifically designed for use with WordPress, and won’t be able to use the current design on your GitHub site.

  Using plugins is possible on our Business and eCommerce plans:
