  I recently transferred my domain from WP to Squarespace. Now, when I try to log in to my old site with my /wp-admin credentials, I get a 404 error. How can I access my stuff?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The above link is incorrect. Our website was at http://www.mortadellahead.com

  Your site was hosted at GoDaddy, not WordPress.com. Going to /wp-admin doesn’t work because the domain is pointed at your Squarespace website. The URL /wp-admin does not exist where you are looking for it, hence the 404.

  You’ll need to point that domain back to your old hosting, or point a subdomain there and update the site URL in the database. You might also grab the files and database content instead of browsing the site.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are a little separate, and that can be confusing. None of your content is stored on these servers.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  You’ll want to use the forums at https://wordpress.org/support/ for any support on managing your site from here. Hope that helps to point you in the right direction!
