Custom domain and transfer existing articles on Word Press.
-
Too much information for this old man. Here’s what I want to do: 1. sign up for the custom domain ‘RichardLongsblog.com’. 2. transfer all my articles from ‘RichardLongsblog.wordpresss.com’ to the newly created blog. 3. But reverse the order of the articles so that the first article I ever posted appears first on the newly created RichardLongsblog.com. Can I do that? and what will it cost? Thanks. Please hang in with this old man.

Hi –
Yes, you can do this all! No worries.
When a custom domain is registered, richardlongsblog.com, it just takes over the previous free site. The posts, the content, the images, all of that will remain as is with no changes and nothing needed from you.
The posts can be displayed in reverse order by changing this setting:
https://wordpress.com/support/show-your-posts-in-chronological-order/Write back for more help :)

what rhe heck do the comments AT THE bottom about “other members of the community” mean?n

It’s just a reminder of our community guidelines to not make disparaging remarks to staff, volunteers, and other users…it is there for everyone to see as they post in the forums. It wasn’t pertaining specifically to you – you’re fine :).

According to my C&F bank, my bank card is fine but your system rejects it. Can’t get an answer. Trying to up date my site. Assume the virus pandemic has everybody short staffed. prlong2000.

You’re right, our support team is going through a backlog right now so it may take a bit longer than usual to get a reply.
I had a look at the logs and it seems that your card is not supported, do you have any other card that you can use?
Here you can also see all the payment methods we accept: -
This card is fine. Citizens and Farmers Bank verified as much.
It appears to me that here’s the problem:
WordPress had another of my cards on file. This cart had expired.I entered another current card. However, your system continued to try to charge the expired card, instead of charging the new card. This is verified by C&F bank.
I know you guys usually think the problems are the customers fault. This is in your system. Accept it or not. RichardLongsblog.com

Hmm, that’s not what we see on this end, but we’ve removed the previous payment method just in case. Can you try purchasing again?

My apologies for the crack about your not believing your customers. That was unkind and you didn’t deserve that.
I will of course re-enter everything.

Perfect. And I’ve received confirming emails and an opportunity to schedule a one-on-one session. Have a good weekend. You deserve it for communicating with an old man who began writing in the days of carbon paper and mimeographs.. I was introduced to the technical age by the Apple 2C, (175 kilos, I think). Richard
