  Hey,

  it seems that your site is not hosted on WordPress.com, but it’s a self-hosted WordPress.org one. So we won’t be able to help you in this forum. You can read more about the difference here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can visit WordPress.org support site, I’m sure you will find helpful information there:

  If your site is hosted with Hostgator you are using the open source WordPress software. Support for that software is at the WordPress.org forums @liwkita linked to above. Please post there for help with doing this.
