    ” When I try and access my website to edit as I have done in the past via hawkins-hamilton.com/wp-admin I get the following error message: “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” However I do not receive an email with instructions.

    Hi @mysticdonuteed5e6706f

    I checked hawkins-hamilton.com, and it is not hosted here on WordPress.com, but instead uses the self-hosted WordPress software from WordPress.org. You can verify that here: https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/hawkins-hamilton.com

    Because of that, we don’t have access to your site’s files, dashboard, or email settings. The error message you’re seeing—“The site is experiencing technical difficulties”—typically appears when there’s a plugin or theme conflict, or a PHP error within your WordPress installation. Since your site is hosted elsewhere, the best next step is to contact your hosting provider’s support team.

    For more information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org self-hosted sites, please refer to our guide here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org

    If you have other questions related to WordPress.com, please let me know.
