  I was on a free WordPress for 2 years, I then upgraded to business packages. unfortunately, I cannot afford my business packages anymore. So my question is, if I upgrade to the lower package will I access my previous blogs ?

  When downgrading from a Business to Free WordPress.com plan, you will not lose any of your images or content. You will revert back to a standard WordPress.com style URL (i.e. yourgroovydomain.com) and any custom themes, plugins, or customization will be removed. But the core of your site, the words and images, will remain.

  Let us know if anything is unclear or you have any further questions.

  Thank you for coming back to me. I managed to shortly use my new default address ,https://spreadingpropertyknowledge.wpcomstaging.com/ , for a short period of time about 3 months ago. however , I am no longer able to access this site . My initial free websites https://spreadingpropertyknowledge.wordpress.com/ , is uneditable, furthermore, I cannot add new blogs.

  I would like to retrieve every blog I posted prior to the expiry of my blog and domain .

  I wonder if the main problem could be that I need to pay for my domain hosting separately and download to personal website package? since I previously took the packages of web-hosting and domain with wordpress.

  Could you please expand on this? In what way is it uneditable? What exactly are you trying to do? I’m able to make changes to that site without any issues.

  https://spreadingpropertyknowledge.wpcomstaging.com/ and https://spreadingpropertyknowledge.wordpress.com/ are the same site – the wpcomstaging address was assigned to that site when you installed plugins for the first time in April 2019. When your Business Plan expired on 7 May 2020 and your site was downgraded back to the free plan, it reverted to the wordpress.com version of the address.

  I would like to retrieve every blog I posted prior to the expiry of my blog and domain .

  Can you give some details on what is missing? I can see 39 posts and 5 pages published on https://spreadingpropertyknowledge.wordpress.com/, going back all the way to October 2017 when you started this site.
