  I started a blog but decided I wanted the editing capabilities — I installed WordPress.com through Blue Host. I want to basically delete my original blog. I exported the file and imported on new site. I’m hoping I can move the premium theme I purchased, and other upgrades, to new site. Also, I’d like my domain http://www.flashknockdown.com to be on the new blog, not the original. My original site is https://jenabeecher.wordpress.com and I had primary domain as http://www.flashknockdown.com

  The URL on new site is this http://69.195.124.111/~flashkno/

  Help, please!

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

  Hi there – we can’t move the Premium theme to your Bluehost site, but you can buy a version of the same theme here that you can use with your new site: http://www.organicthemes.com/themes/

  Your domain is registered through GoDaddy and only mapped to your WordPress.com site, so you’ll need to go through GoDaddy to point its name servers to Bluehost, just as you did previously to point them here.

  Would you like me to go ahead and cancel and refund all of your upgrades on our end since you only just bought them and don’t plan to use them? Then, you can delete your site.

  Ok, you’re all set – you should see those refunds on your statement in about a week.

  Good luck with the new site! I recommend installing the Jetpack plugin once you’re all set up:

  That will give you access to a lot of popular WordPress.com features. :)
