  1. I attempted to transfer a domain name from WordPress to Wix, with the intention of still keeping the WP site and just giving it a new domain name. However, after I transferred the existing one to Wix, naturally, I don’t have a way to log back into my WP account. I would create a new WP site from a backup file, but then I would have to pay the yearly $299 fee all over again. Please help?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  What is the domain you’re referring to? Your account is a day old and you’ve never owned a domain with us. Your account only contains a free site, http://adjuster365.wordpress.com, also just a day old.

  Thanks for your response. It’s only a day old because I can’t log in to other one, (my entire issue), so I had to create a new one to even post in this thread.

  The paid for dot com site was associated with the url adjuster365.com, but has since been pointed to Wix. Because it is no longer pointing to WordPress, wp-admin login does not work.

  Goal: Log into a WordPress.com account that is no longer associated with a domain.

  The domain, adjuster365.com, has never been connected to any site or account on WordPress.com.

  If you had a WordPress site at that domain, it was using the self-hosted WordPress.org software. Self-hosted sites are not on our servers, and we have no access to your content that used to be on that site.

  It appears that before Wix, you had that domain pointed to Hostgator’s servers:

  http://research.dnstrails.com/tools/lookup.htm?domain=adjuster365.com&date=

  So you need to contact Hostgator to find out if they still have any backup data of the self-hosted WordPress site you used to have with them.
