Not Sure I downloaded WordPress.org

  • Unknown's avatar

    There is a lot of different information online about how to migrate your site. I did not see any of the screens that were screen-shotted online. I am however, seeing a new interface for wordpress than I’ve ever seen before (in a web browser) after trying to download wordpress and transfer my wordpress.com site over. Is it possible I downloaded it without actually downloading any files?
    I was trying to follow http://www.wpbeginner.com/how-to-install-wordpress/#quickinstall but never even found the first screenshot to be able to follow it.
    I really thought I was going to be able to migrate it without a problem, but of course I had to run into something!
    Thank you for any help!

  • We cannot offer advice on installing WordPress with other webhosts. Your new webhost’s support team should be able to help you with that. Otherwise, you might try the community at WordPress.org: http://wordpress.org/support/

    Once you have your new self-hosted WordPress site set up, you can follow these instructions to export your WordPress.com site:

    https://move.wordpress.com/

    In fact, it might be worth it to read through that page as it has some good general advice for moving from WordPress.com to self-hosted WordPress.org.
