  Hello, I am trying to migrate my website from Wix to WordPress and for this I would like to try CMS2CMS plugin. To get thorugh this I need to have my FTP credential to upload files in the site route folder via FileZilla. I can’t find these credential anywhere, and since I am using the free template for WordPress, the hosting is Automattic (which is WP itself). How do I get this FTP credentials?

  Thank you in advance!

  No site hosted on WordPressdotcom has FTP access. More about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/

  Also, WordPressdotcom users cannot install 3rd party plugins. https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If these are critical issues for you, you might want to consider finding hosting and installing the standalone WP software.

  (Just for clarity, Automattic is the parent company of WordPressdotcom. There are many devs here that contribute to the open source WordPress project, but the platforms are different.)

  Hi Justjennifer, many thanks for clarifying all the above.

  I will now go for WordPress.org.

  Best regards!
