    I discovered that my recent blog posts, 36 of them (not the 2 recent ones I posted today) were not found anywhere on my website. I can’t even find them in the trash box. The URL is saying not found and they were published on March 25th and the last post is titled ‘Marketingblock review’. I’ll be glad if there’s a way you can help me get them back to my website.

    Correct account: Unknown

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

    Hi there! 

    Unfortunately, we cannot assist because your site is not hosted on WordPress.com. It’s a self-hosted WordPress.org site hosted by 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.

    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: https://wordpress.org/support/forums 

    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.
