Request Help With My Website – New Member

  • Unknown's avatar

    My website isn’t working properly and I wonder if a kind WP developer would assist me. https://www.juliebradleyauthor.com/
    My website was designed by me and created by a professional. Now I need to learn how to work on it myself and am excited about the possibility of being to make things happen on my own (with your help initially!). If you scroll down on the home page you will see that there are four categories of articles. These used to be on a carousel which for some reason stopped working. I prefer it without the carousel, but some other things went haywire when that happened.
    If you go to a category of articles you will see that the sentences all run together and there is no photo from the article to entice readers further.
    Also, I need to streamline my categories. On the right side there are too many categories including one called Uncategorized which definitely needs removing. I would like advice on how to show readers what articles in each subject are available.
    There are other things I want to do with my website, but my priority is getting it shipshape. Please help!! Julie

    I am a new member so if this is too much to ask please tell me gently!

  • Hi,

    It looks like your site is using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but is hosted with another webhost.

    We’re only able to provide support for WordPress websites that are hosted by us here at WordPress.com. For help with a WordPress site hosted elsewhere you’ll need to ask over at the WordPress.org forums:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Depending on the level of support that is included with your hosting plan, your webhost’s support team may also be able to assist.

    If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the open-source WordPress software you can read this article:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  • However…

    Allow me to use this opportunity to say that if you WERE hosted here at WordPress.com, you would have access to 24/7 WordPress specific assistance from a world-class support team.

    Please let us know if you have any questions about WordPress.com, our plans, or our features.

    I am presently with GoDaddy and want to move to another platform. Can you give me a contact number to call to discuss how to make that happen. Many thanks, Julie Bradley

  • We do not offer phone support, but we have extensive online documentation, and as staff-ozmodiar mentioned, you can also chat with us as soon as you add any of our plans to your cart:

    It sounds like your site might be using a custom theme – to be able to use those on WordPress.com, you would need plan Business:
