  Just moved to self hosted on godaddy and imported my old page, unfortunately none of the styling seems to have gone through with the import, also embeds and forms are crashed. The whole new page is a disaster. Does a guided transfer include fixing widgets, forms, css stuff? Or in short does a guided transfer mean I will end up with an exact replica (or close enough) of my wordpress.com site?

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

  Hi there! First the bad news: we don’t do Guided Transfer to GoDaddy. But now the good news: the support staff here should be able to help you with your issues.

  The first step will be to download Jetpack (which is free) and upload it on your site. Here is the link that includes the download and the instructions on how to install on your server:
  http://jetpack.me
  Take a look at the About page, as well as the Support page if you have questions.
  Once you have Jetpack installed on your site, you’ll connect it to your WordPress.com account. The instructions will clearly explain this process to you. But we’re here, if you need assistance.

  Once you’re done with that component, one of the amazing Jetpack support team can help you with your CSS issues, if they’re still occurring.

  Just so you are aware, some widgets will not work on a self-hosted site. If this is the case for you, there are many plugins available for self-hosted sites that will help you gain the functionality you need.

  I hope this helps. The team here can help get you up and running! Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Many thanks.
