  I am trying to transition to a wordpress.org site with the same domain and have followed the steps to download wordpress.org via Bluehost and MoJo.

  The problem is when I enter the admin URL: http://www.everylastdish.com/wp-admin
  and log in w/ my password, it pulls up the WordPress.com dashboard.

  How can I make it so I access the WordPress.org dashboard?

  Thank you,
  Tara

  Hello @tarlyjohnson,

  Generally speaking, this forum is exclusive to WordPress.com questions, and WordPress.org has its own support forum. However, I can give you at least a general answer from my own experience.

  Your domain, everylastdish.com, is registered with GoDaddy.com, and is using the WordPress.com nameservers. In order to point that name to your Bluehost hosting server, follow GoDaddy’s procedures to use GoDaddy nameservers and point your domain name’s DNS to Bluehost. The support departments of those two companies can assist you with the specifics, but that’s the big picture. :)
