  I used their site builder, which we know is EOL. I understand WordPress has taken over. Is there an easy way to transfer my existing site from Yahoo Small Business to WordPress? Or is clunky FTP the only way? Thanks!

  Site: https://cfh3com.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  I have since found that NO, we cannot access via FTP.

  Hi there!

  I’m not familiar with the site builder you used with Yahoo. Is this a drag-and-drop site builder?

  We have instructions here for importing sites to WordPress.com from other platforms: https://transferto.wordpress.com

  I’d like to highlight these instructions that are geared toward sites that are on a platform that we don’t support automatically importing content from: https://transferto.wordpress.com/drag-and-drophtml-site-builders/

  If you prefer FTP, note that we offer SFTP access to sites with the WordPress.com Business plan and higher. You can learn more about our plans and pricing here: https://wordpress.com/pricing

  Feel free to let us know if there’s anything else you need and we’ll be happy to help.

  Yes it was drag and drop.
  But very easy to customize.

  I have since learned we can no longer access via FTP.
  Yahoo has closed down the service.
  Which really stinks, cannot make changes.
  I’ll need to move/rebuild.

  I will try the alternate method you suggest, thanks very much.
