Can I use the word press app to sign into and make changes to desktop site? I was sent a link but it looks like it’s creating a new site. I want to delete the app site bit concerned it will delete desktop zzenout.com. Thank you

Hi there,
Do you mean the WordPress desktop app for MacOS and Windows? Or the WordPress mobile app?
I should note that your site at http://zzenout.com/ doesn’t live on the desktop of any computer, but is running on a web server at your hosting provider, and can be opened by anyone, in any browser, on any desktop computer or mobile device.
Your site is built with the open source WordPress software, made by the community on WordPress.org, and you can manage that site using either the mobile or desktop apps for WordPress.
To use that site with the mobile app, open the app, tap Add Site, and select the option to add a self-hosted WordPress site. Enter your site’s URL, and the username and password for your admin user account, and the site should be added to the app. If you run into any trouble with that, please contact the mobile app support team using the Help & Support section within the mobile app itself.
If you want to use your site with the WordPress desktop app, you’ll need to install the Jetpack plugin on your site, and connect the site to your WordPress.com account you used to post here in the forum. Then log into the desktop app using this same WordPress.com account, and you should see your site listed in the app.
Let me know if you have any questions about this :)
