Website update killed my site

  • Unknown's avatar

    I tried to update to the newest version of wordpress and I had to disable then delete all the add ons I had. Then when I hit update, my entire site went down. I have created a new site and would like to transfer my domain name to that site but I cannot even log in now because it says fatal error. We had a company create our website but the owner passed away last year and I have no clue what hosting site he used so I cannot do a manual update. I can’t log in. Help!

  • Hi,

    It looks like your site is using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but is hosted with another webhost.

    We’re only able to provide support for WordPress websites that are hosted by us here at WordPress.com. For help with a WordPress site hosted elsewhere you’ll need to ask over at the WordPress.org forums:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Depending on the level of support that is included with your hosting plan, your webhost’s support team may also be able to assist.

    If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the open-source WordPress software you can read this article:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  • However…

    Allow me to use this opportunity to say that if you WERE hosted here at WordPress.com, you would have access to 24/7 WordPress specific assistance from a world-class support team and we could likely get this sorted out for you.

    We have a guide to help move your site to WordPress.com here and our support team can also assist:

    Please let us know if you have any questions about WordPress.com, our plans, or our features.
