    I previously hosted my blog through a package I purchased from Google Domains that included BlueHost and WordPress. This year, Google Domains was purchased by Squarespace, where my website is now managed. I wanted to import content from here/export my content, but now the hundreds of posts from my blog are gone. It keeps saying the site is hidden, but on the backend it says visible. The url is http://www.pinkmeat.net. Please please please please help me recover these posts – it’s years and years of my life down the drain!!!!!!

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    I’ve checked it, and the site pinkmeat.net is not hosted on the WordPress.com servers. We can not help here with sites that are not hosted with us, as we have no access to your site, and our support tools will not work.

    So I moved the domain over to wordpress, as suggested, but now whenever i try to access my wp-admin page, it gives me a DNS error. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. I’ve tried clearing cookies, but still giving the same DNS error. It also says that my jetpack connection needs to be checked, so i removed and re-added it, but still no luck.

    Hey there,

    It looks like you transferred your domain name successfully, but not the site itself. Do you know who the hosting provider for your site is? If so, you can use WordPress.com to manage your DNS and point the domain to your WordPress server. Then you can use WordPress.com/move to transfer your site to WordPress.com. Any information you can provide us for who your hosting provider is will help us get your site transferred over.

    Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you.
