  • Hi Isaac, do you have access to the backend or did the developer retain access?

    If you had access but lost it, are you using /wp-admin to log in?

    If that isn’t working, your developer may be able to help, or your host can help you make backups and use one of these recovery options:

    Please note too, there’s a difference between a free copy of the WordPress software, and our managed hosting services:

    You are more than welcome to move the site here so we can help you with maintenance and support. Here’s our pricing:

    If that interests you, please let us know. You’ll need to gain access to the site, then we can help you get started. Or you can start fresh here and point your domain when you’re ready.
