  Hi there!

  Before I reply to your questions, I’d like to understand better your goals here. Here, on WordPress.com, you have the site montaine84.wordpress.com. Is this the site you’re thinking of cloning? Or do you have another site hosted elsewhere?

  See, there’s common confusion about WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and I want to make sure we’re talking about the same thing :)

  We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

  You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this page:

  Once you confirm what you’re trying to achieve exactly, I’ll be happy to clarify.
