  I have blogs on free hosted wp.com, I am just wondering if it is possible to move everything onto wp.org where hosted on Bluehost?

  Thank you.

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  WordPress.ORG is not a host – they are the keepers of the WordPress software.

  You can move all of your blog here to a Blue Host site if you want – just export from here and import to your Blue Host site.

  Do note that widget content and the theme will not move over. Any content in text widgets would have to be copied and pasted into the new site, and you would have to find and download the theme you were using here, out on the internet somewhere and install it if you were wanting to keep using that theme.

  No wonder why I don’t see the theme in WP.com, so if I couldn’t find the theme free on WP.org, that means I have to look for other alternative theme.

  Also note that the widgets included in WordPress.org installs so not include any of the in-house for free hosted WordPress.com widgets.
