site design
-
I already have a site and I wish to keep the domain I already have but change the design and add a WordPress theme to it, if I do the domain mapping and install WordPress on it, will it erase all the stuff I already have on there? Thank you

Hi there,
Can you tell us the URL of the site you’re speaking of?
It sounds like you already have a site, but it’s not here on WordPress.com, correct? Is it using the open source WordPress software, or a different system?
The domain mapping upgrade we offer in our plans is only used to connect a domain you own somewhere else, to a website already hosted on WordPress.com, like your free site at https://helpinghands220373999.wordpress.com/ If you already have a website somewhere else, you don’t want our domain mapping upgrade, as your site in that case has nothing to do with WordPress.com.
Once you provide us with more specific details on your site and exactly what you’re trying to do, we can give you more specific instructions.

Hi, thx for the response,
Yes, the site is https://helpinghands.gr and it’s not on WordPress and is not using any kind of WordPress stuff. The hosting is with Papaki and we wish to remain with them, we were just looking to change the design and use a WordPress theme.

Got it, if you want to install WordPress there without disrupting the site, I’d recommend just installing it in another directory. Or, if you want the WordPress site to overtake the old site when you’re ready, you might ask your host what options they have for staging.
Going forward, for help with thee free WordPress software itself, you’ll also want to use the correct forums for self-managed installations, at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
These forums are actually for the sites hosted by WordPress.com, so you’ll find more relevant answers by searching those forums. Cheers!
