  I switched from WordPress.com to WordPress.org last night. My site has multiple admins and authors. One of the other admins went to publish a post and it shows as published (and has been liked), but does not show up on the site. She is logged in at .com. I made her an admin and had her try logging in at pintertesting.com/wp-admin and she couldn’t. My domain didn’t change, but I am thinking that it posted at pintertesting.wordpress.com. I can’t figure out how to redirect that domain to pintertesting.com.

  I am so lost. Please advise.

  Hi Katie.

  As WordPress.com is a separate entity to WordPress.org, the other admin will need to be added separately to your new site. You can find some guidance on adding them via the following User Manual on WordPress.org:

  https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/customizing-wordpress/managing-users-on-your-wordpress-site/adding-users-to-your-wordpress-site/

  The post itself, can likely be found in your old WordPress.com Dashboard:

  https://pintertesting.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  I would advice following the guide to add your WordPress.com users to your new site, and directing them to pintertesting.com/wp-admin when logging in in the future.

  Hope that helps!
