  So the blog is not hosted on wordpress.com? Yes, the one you host on your own site is a little different; you’ll need to go to wordpress.org for that.

  Then you need to be at WordPress.org’s support forum, not here. We’re running different software and can’t help you. This forum is for those using WordPress.com’s hosted version of WordPress, and it’s quite different.

  Your new host may also have a support forum for help.
