  Our organization developed a new website using WiX. How can I link finders of the WordPress webiste to the new website on WiX. Unfortunately I am not the original developer of the WordPress website so I do not know how to navigate within the website very well.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there!

  I can think of two great ways to do this.

  1. You can create a home page that explains your move to Wix (or to another webpage), and add a link to the new website so users can manually find your new site.
  Here is how to set up a Homepage: https://wordpress.com/support/pages/front-page/#step-1-publish-a-home-page
  And here is how to add a link to a page: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/links/#method-one-the-link-button

  2. And the better way to do this, is to automatically redirect anyone who tries to go into your WordPress.com site, to your new website. For this, you’ll need to set up a Site Redirect, and you can follow this guide to do so: https://wordpress.com/support/site-redirect/#getting-started

  Hope this helped! 😉

  Hi @harborofshippensburg,

  In addition to what @cuellin noted above, you will also need to point your custom domain (e.g. harbornaz.org) to Wix. Their support should be able to help with that.
