I want to transfer a website I made on account A and to account B so I can have it go live.

  I have two accounts somehow. Account A is the free version of WordPress and the account that has my finished website. Account B is linked to my cPanel account and acts a lot different than account A. I was planning on going through the long process of copy pasting everything, but the account A and B look a lot different. On account B I can’t edit backgrounds from the admin area. The theme dyad 2 has way less features on account B than on account A. I am really confused and frustrated. Help would be really appreciated right now.

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

  Hello @samelainewilson
  Seems like you are using WordPress.ORG for account B.

  So please follow this official support guide to move your site from WordPress.COM(Account A) to self hosted WordPress.ORG(Account B):
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  If you want, you can also have this does by WordPress – buying the Guided Transfer option which comes at $129.00 per blog/site transferred.

  What does the Guided Transfer include?
  • Installing the WordPress software at your choice of one of our recommended hosts.
  • Transferring over the content from your WordPress.com site.
  • Installing and configuring Jetpack and a few other plugins to provide features that you have been using on WordPress.com.
  • Configuring and testing permissions so that you’ll be able to have one-click installs and upgrades.
  • Switching your domain(s) name server settings to point over to the new site.
  • Answering questions and providing guidance for you on your new WordPress installation for a two week period.

  As stated here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

  Also note that Guided Transfers are not available for purchase until May 15, 2017. Already purchased transfers and support periods will continue. WordPress. is working on a few things behind the scenes!

  Hope this helps. 🙂
