Guided Transfer from wordpress.com to wordpress.org

    I want to transfer my blog from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. using the guided transfer. I already bought a hosting domain but do I need to buy another one to migrate? Or I can keep using the one I have since I am keeping the domain name. I followed the direction to find the guided transfer on my dashboard but it isn’t there. It said it may be because my site is using a custom theme. I am using the Divi theme. So that means I have to uninstall it and use a free theme? But how would it look like to the people that visit my site? I changed a lot of things that I haven’t kept track or do I have to transfer everything back to it’s default before the guided transfer shows up or not?

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

    Hi there!

    Your website justwritenow.co is already using the open source WordPress installation, WordPress.org, and hosted on BlueHost.

    You’re able to see your self-hosted website on WordPress.com dashboard because it is connected to WordPress.com using Jetpack.
    That must be the reason that you’re not able to see Guided Transfer on your site.

    Do you have any other WordPress.com website which you want to transfer to another host?

    Let us know and we can look at the options available.
