    This is the host WordPress.com not Bluehost which is a different company. You received a reply when you posted into this forum two weeks ago

    Hi there,

    You can move from Weebly to WordPress.com by following our guide here:

    You can transfer your Weebly site contents directly to your WordPress.com site using automated migration. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to move your site’s pages, posts, comments, and any media items, including photos, videos, and embedded files. Your theme, custom domain, and personal settings will not be transferred over, but we’ll provide additional instructions you can follow in

    You may want to consider the 3rd option listed on that page for the best results. Also note that you do not need both Bluehost and WordPress.com. It’s an either/or proposition.

    Bluehost and WordPress.com both offer WordPress sites, the primary difference is that on WordPress.com we’re a fully managed host specialized for the needs of WordPress. You can learn more here: https://wordpress.com/hosting/

    So we take care of a lot of the hard work for you, whereas with other providers (for whom WordPress may be just one of the many platforms you can install on your account) you generally have to set up and optimize the hosting, backups, caching, etc yourself. If you’re new to WordPress we definitely recommend managed hosting as your best option. In the case of WordPress.com we also include in-house help with WordPress questions. Bluehost will typically only help with hosting questions, but are not expert in WordPress and do not support it.

    If you need a bit more help, perhaps you can share the URL of your Weebly site? We’re happy to take a look and suggest what option is best for you. We even have a service that will help to move you and set up your new WordPress.com site for a small fee:
