Migrate existing content

    How do I migrate my existing content from docusaurus to wordpress?

    What about using the same domain?

    It would be great if you could get in touch with me, because I’m planning to move forward with Business plan

  • Hello –

    Thanks for writing to us. We can definitely answer these questions and get you headed in the right direction.

    Generally speaking, you can follow the instructions on this page to walk you through the process of importing content from a different provider to your WordPress.com site:

    Import a Website

    Alternatively, you can use our team to complete the process for you. We offer a service that will help you with the import and build the site. This will save you time. Those details are on https://builtbywp.com/

    Since you already have an established site from the sounds of things, I would not worry about connecting your domain right away. Get the new site set up on the free site address on your account. Once that site is ready to go, connect the domain. This will limit downtime for you. There’s 2 options for connecting the domain.

    – mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/connect-existing-domain/
    – transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/incoming-domain-transfer/

    I wanted to make sure you saw that the hosting plans do come with premium support options, like live chat. So once you purchase that business plan you’ll be able to get support that way if it’s preferred. And if not, we are always happy to help you here in the forums.

    There is a good savings when the hosting plan is purchased for the year versus paying month by month. It’s refundable for 30 days. We can also upgrade/downgrade at any point to meet the demands of your project and budget.

    Write back if more help is needed.

    Can I get a trial for the Business plan?

  • We do not have a specific “trial” system. But our plans do have a 14 day refund policy. So you are welcome to purchase the Business plan, try it out, work with our livechat support team to answer any questions, and then refund using these instructions if does not suit your needs:

    Please keep in mind that domain registrations are only refundable for 48 hours after purchase. And also that registering and canceling a domain can make it a hassle to register it again elsewhere in the near term. So if you are just testing out the WordPress.com Business plan, I would encourage you not to use the domain registration credit until you are sure that the Business plan will work for you.

    Does that all make sense?

    Is it possible to customize the theme as per our needs in wordpress.com?

  • Hello there,

    Is it possible to customize the theme as per our needs in wordpress.com?

    On the business plan, it is possible to edit installed theme and plugin files.

    What customisation are you looking to do exactly?

  • Unknown's avatar

    like… the page layout should not be limited to the theme.. if required other changes apart from colors and things should be possible

  • Unknown's avatar

    like… if we create on how the webpage looks like in a mockflow.. can we achieve that using wordpress.com?

    If yes, then how? Is that via plugins? or by code modifications?

    Yes to both! However, you would need the Business plan to install third-party plugins and themes and to have access to modify code directly.

    With the Business plan, you get a temporary staging website address, so you can work on all your customizations and changes and make sure the site looks the way you intend before moving your domain over. It’s the same as if you used the WordPress software on your own hosting provider, but we also provide security, backups, and priority support for your site, which should be a big help.

    Let us know if you have any other questions!

    okay.. so to confirm.. business plan in wordpress.com is similar to customizing the website using wordpress. org right?

  • Hi,

    so to confirm.. business plan in wordpress.com is similar to customizing the website using wordpress. org right?

    Yes, this is pretty much it. However, the Business plan comes with additional features like unlimited VideoPress hosting, SEO tools, automated backups, and many more. If you’re interested, you can find more information here:

    So about the themes and plugins..

    wordpress.com allows only wordpress approved themes and plugins? Am I correct?

  • Unknown's avatar

    In addition to our collection of themes, you can upload third-party themes to your WordPress.com site, including themes from WordPress.org, popular marketplaces like Themeforest, and even themes you have custom-made for your website.
