  That site is not hosted by wordpress.com. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  This is wordpress.com support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

  Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  If you do have a question about any site being hosted by WordPress.com read on.

  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/

  There is no phone support. See here for all the support options when you have wordpress.COM technical support issues see https://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/

  Those who have a paid upgrade for a wordpress.COM site can use the “Contact Support” form, http://support.wordpress.com/contact/

  The best WordPress.COM contact form to use now for Staff assistance is:
  http://wordpress.com/help/contact
  Live chat will be available there if we have Happiness Engineers available to chat. When they are not available using that link results in posting to this peer support forum. https://en.support.wordpress.com/live-chat/

  re: direct email support
  Also note, that you can email WordPress.COM Staff at:

  help@wordpress.com

  That said, the quickest way to get an answer to your support question is to state what you do need help with clearly in a peer support forum thread like this one.
