  I clicked a link in a WordPress phishing email (I think) and now my website is down. WordPress app times out on publishing the updates and I can’t reach the mydomain dot org/wp-admin site either. What now?

  Your account is only 1 hour old and doesn’t have a site running on the wordpress.com platform. What is the URL of your site?

  Hi staartmees, thanks for the response. I’m the new pastor of two churches and I was just trying to figure out how to update our websites when I clicked the email links that shut everything down. They each have separate accounts and separate domains so I created a third to seek help with. The domains are longsumc-canton.org and crusoumc.org.

  I just checked and both sites are up and running. I see your sites are not running on the wordpress.com platform but are using the open source wordpress.org. Their support is at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
