  Issue #1 404 Error: When I try to login via http://www.midvaleharvestdays.com/wp-admin, I get a “File not found (404 error)”. So, I used https://wordpress.com/log-in/ to login and was able to login. But, when I click on any “Pages” to try to update my website I get the “File not found (404 error)”. I can’t make any changes to my website.

  Issue #2 Security Certificate: When I go to my website http://www.MidvaleHarvestDays.com it says the site is not secure. How do I obtain a security certificate?

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

  Hi there,

  Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

  To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.

  Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

  You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ and the site would need to be on the business plan.

  As it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

  The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
