  Hi Folks! Does anyone know if you can access the info you need to access a free (no plan) WordPress.com site’s FTP info … i.e. the Port # and Host Name etc. When I go to the “Hosting Configuration” in WordPress, it seems to not allow access to this info (because I don’t have a plan?)

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

  You’ll need a paid Business or eCommerce plan to use FTP here: https://wordpress.com/support/ftp-access/

  Would you please let us know what you need FTP for now? We might have an alternative.

  I was trying to register my site with Google and it seemed to want some code in the head to verify the site is mine? I don’t seem to have any meta tags or description in the head … and don’t seem to have access to edit the code in the head through WordPress. I’d be happy if I could just get the site showing on Google I guess is the bottom line

  Hi Folks … thanks so much for the help! I wouldn’t have been able to register my site with Google without your help, that’s for sure. I’m at least ten years behind the times as far as developing simple websites and getting them registered with search engines … it used to be so easy! Thanks again for your help!!!
