Website Set Up

    Hi!

    I have a domain hosted through Go Daddy (sarahseymourphotography.com) and am setting up my site with WordPress. I am hoping to create my photography website with a template that makes it really appealing to those looking at it. I looked at various themes and found a theme that I could pay for and download from Qode interactive.

    This is the link to the template: https://qodeinteractive.com/wordpress-theme/solene-wedding-photography-theme/

    Do you think this would be reliable? Is Qode interactive known for having reliable templates that go well with WordPress?

    Would you have any other recommendations? I saw that WordPress has some photography website themes but I personally really like the layout of the one Qode provides. But I just want to make sure it is not unreliable or a scam.

    Thank you so much!

    Hi joemama12

    I have a domain hosted through Go Daddy (sarahseymourphotography.com) and am setting up my site with WordPress.

    You are using the WordPress software from WordPress.org. Your site is not hosted here on WordPress.com. For a detailed explanation on the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com, Please read this documentation https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    Here we only support folks who are using WordPress.com. You can take a look at the WordPress.org forums : https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ for assistance with your site. If you scroll down on that page I have linked, they have a recommendation on support for specific themes.

    Good luck with your site!

    Hey there,

    As mentioned, on these forums, we can only assist with WordPress.com related issues. Therefore, I wanted to remind you about the option to migrate your WordPress site to our servers.

    The content alone can be moved by exporting from Tools > Export, and then imported as per these steps here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/ (Tools import). To get the storage you need, and to be able to use a custom primary domain, a paid plan would need to be in place: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    Alternatively, a site can be migrated into WordPress.com, as is – including all content, themes and plugins. We make the migration process easy with the WordPress.com Migration plugin, which you can find at this link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/.

    A site being migrated into WordPress.com using this plugin would require a WordPress.com Business Plan.

    We provide a fully managed hosting service with a custom server environment, specifically optimized for WordPress. This means you’ll benefit from built-in security measures, performance improvements, and in-house support to address any questions or concerns you may have.

    Migrating your site to WordPress.com may initially seem like a daunting task, but the advantages of our fully managed hosting service outweigh the effort involved. With our optimized server environment and tailored version of WordPress, you’ll have access to the best possible hosting service for your WordPress website.

    However, if you decide not to migrate your site to WordPress.com, don’t worry! We still want to ensure you receive the help you need. The open-source WordPress forums are available to provide support, where you can connect with experts in WordPress who are well-equipped to assist you with any issues you may encounter.

    We hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you for considering WordPress.com as your hosting solution!
