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

  Hey ourfranciscanfiat,

  It seems that you’re talking about a different website and not the link you mentioned above.

  Please share the link to your website.

  Hey ourfranciscanfiat,

  Your website is hosted on Dreamhost and we’re only able to help with the website hosted on WordPress.com.

  I am afraid, you’re in the wrong forums. Please use WordPress.org forums. https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  PS: You can just migrate the whole data to the root directory and then change the site URL.

  For more help, please use the above-mentioned forums.
