How to transfer info from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. Where's my site??

    I didn’t realize that downloading wordpress.org and setting up my site would be completely unrelated to my actual side with wordpress.com. Is there anyway to transfer all of my posts, etc to the wordpress.org? Plus, the .org site says “localhost…” how can I get it attached to my .com? I’m at the point of complete frustration and ready to just delete the entire thing altogether and start somewhere else. Any help would be tremendously helpful. Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,

    To help clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

    Here is a great explanation about the difference between the two options for using WordPress software:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    If you’d like to transfer your content from WordPress.com to a WordPress.org site, we have a handy guide to assist you with that process:

    You’ll want to make sure that your WordPress.org site is hosted with a webhost, rather than having it on your local computer.

    If you don’t have a webhost, we have a few recommended partners here:

    If you have any questions, just let me know how I can help.
