  Hi there!

  What’s the address of the site you’re working on?

  Please note that these forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If your site is using the open-source WordPress.org software, we won’t be able to help you out and you’ll want to seek help at these forums:

  Thanks for the address. Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with GoDaddy.

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  You can look for help at the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  http://wordpress.org/support/ is also a great resource for sites using the open-source WordPress.org software.
