  Hi @magazinistoric,

  The link you provide(magazinistoric.wordpress.com) seems to be a deleted site. Did you delete the site, and would like to get access to the site again? Or are you looking to get help with a Self-Hosted site?

  There are two different platforms of WordPress. You can learn more about it here:

  WordPress Com vs WordPress ORG

  If you need help with a Self-Hosted WordPress site, your best way will be to get started here, and get help at the WordPress org Support forums. For this platform, you would need to find a Hosting provider(like BlueHost).

  Let me know the details further, would be happy to assist you ahead.

  Thanks!
