How to transfer wordpress files to another domain verify on Webmaster tools?
-
My ginkgosociety.org blog is blocked in China so I’d like to host my wordpress files on another site. How can I move them (like my blog unboundedlife.com)?
Also I’m trying to verify my site ownership for Ginkgo and google says to upload a file to http://ginkgosociety.org, but my ftp client can’t connect this way?

If you’re interested, we do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/
Then, point your domain to your new hosting provider by changing your nameservers: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
http://wordpress.org/support/
http://codex.wordpress.org/We do offer yearly and one-time premium support packages for self-hosted WordPress sites through our VIP program, available at http://vip.wordpress.com
If you do stay with us, you can verify your site ownership via the Tools section of your Dashboard, but if you plan to move I recommend waiting until you’re done with the move before verifying.
