    Hi there!

    We cannot assist because your site at lifeinthewhole.com is not on WordPress.com but is a self-hosted WordPress.org site. It’s hosted by Hostgator, a different hosting company. We do not have access to self-hosted sites, so I cannot see the setup of the backend of your account.

    Did you have any specific questions about that site? We can help by pointing you in the right direction. I wasn’t sure what kind of help you needed, so I only wanted to tell you that your site’s not hosted by us at WordPress.com.

    To clarify:

    • WordPress.com is a managed host platform that offers WordPress in a pre-customized server environment already set up for you to build your site. Hosting with WordPress.com is free, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by us. We offer free and paid plans that provide additional features for your site based on your needs (plugins, custom themes, etc). You also have access to professional assistance via Happiness Engineers to address any issues you encounter.
    • WordPress.org is a self-hosted platform, meaning you download the WordPress software and install it on a web server from a host of your choosing. You have to pay the host when you’re self-hosting, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by you. This gives you more flexibility and control of your plugins, themes, and code but also more responsibility to ensure those things are operating correctly.

    Our support page dives more into the differences:

    I recommend contacting your site host, as they would be better positioned to assist you since they have access to your account. Also, the open-source forum community is always available and prepared to help users with self-hosted sites:
