Website has disappeared
-
I couldn’t get the website that I set up on WordPress.com to function the way I wanted it to so I never published it. I thought by not publishing it, the content would stay on wordpress as long as I was working on it. Meanwhile all my content has disappeared because I let the domain name through name.com lapse. name.com tells me that they no longer have the content. I want my content back so please retrieve and forward it from the wordpress database, so that I may re-establish my site. I spent countless hours writing and creating the site. Please help. Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you talking about https://funtidbits.wordpress.com/? It’s a public site. Go ahead and export it.
If you are not talking about that site, give us the URL of the form whatever.wordpress.com of the blog you’re talking about, unless it never had such a URL, in which case you’re talking about a WordPress.ORG blog and are in the wrong forum.
-
No, funtidbits is a blog and I kept it as a wordpress.com site. The blog I need help with is myfundesert.com. It’s a website I set up on wordpress.com.
-
-
It wasn’t a blog. It was a website. It was originally myfundesert.wordpress.com and then I changed it to website with the domain name as http://www.myfundesert.com
-
You should still be able to get into it from http://myfundesert.wordpress.com/wp-admin then.
-
The admin dashboard is completely blank. and this is the message I get whenever I try the wordpress link:
myfundesert.wordpress.com doesn’t exist
-
Well, I was relying on you to give me the correct information. That site does not exist and has never existed. Until you come up with the correct URL, nobody here can help you.
-
I have provided you with the correct information. It existed. I worked on it for a year. I registered the website with bluehost. Here is the confirmation sent to me on 10-29-13. The site existed for a year!
Thank you for choosing Bluehost. We appreciate your business.
Our goal is to provide you with the absolute best hosting experience on the planet.

myfundesert.com is available!
You had a WordPress.ORG software install on Blue Host – ask blue host if they have any backup files – at this time not likely but worth asking – nobody here has any of your files – it does not look like you had any content here
For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you did not have a base blog here with domain mapping (and in that case you would not have been hosted on Blue Host) – there are no files here to help you unless you had a shadow blog as a backup – but you would have needed to set that up special and then I would think you would have the URL for it
-
So, you never did have a WordPress.com website. You had a WordPress.ORG website on Bluehost. So all along you have been in the wrong forum. Go to WordPress.org and deal with your web host.

I KNOW the difference between .com and org! If I had the site on WordPress.org, how could it have appeared on the same dashboard as funtidbits.wordpress.com. If you go to the funtidbits dashboard the name for myfundesert.com still appears under the tab “My Sites”, then the link to “Switch Site” right under the URL for funtidbits.wordpress.com. However, when you click on the name. you see the message, “site not found.”

You do not know the difference. WordPress.org is not a web host.
https://funtidbits.wordpress.com/ exists and is a WordPress.com blog. Your WordPress.org blog appears on the same My Blogs list because you had the Jetpack plugin on it.
So. Contact your erstwhile web host and WordPress.org. We cannot help you.

Kindly put me in touch with your supervisor.

@funtidbits-
Hi Sherry,
If you go to the funtidbits dashboard the name for myfundesert.com still appears under the tab “My Sites”, then the link to “Switch Site” right under the URL for funtidbits.wordpress.com.
I’m sorry about the confusion, but the reason it showed up in your WordPress.com My Sites page is that you activated the Jetpack plugin on your WordPress.org site. The Jetpack plugin offers you features that make your .org experience similar to .com. However, for the export you should contact your host Bluehost as we wouldn’t have access to that here.
Let me know if you have any questions with this!
@auxclass & @galois – you both know we value your participation here in the forums, but do keep your comments on the support needed, and not directed at other users.
