  Wrong page comes up on wordpress.com sign in. I’ve already set up the Lifestyle-pro theme I bought. There’s a different theme that states I need to set it up. What’s the deal?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Do you have another account on WordPress.com or the self-hosted WordPress.org?

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  Check here to learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  After looking into the WordPress.com account under lisajolsen, I found that there was no Premium Theme purchased. If you would like to purchase the Premium Theme: Lifestyle for the site: lisajolsen.wordpress.com, please view this link here:

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  So, it looks like I bought the Lifestyle Pro theme StudioPress, not WordPress. Whoops.
  I have been setting up my blog with the Lifestyle-Pro theme with the wordpress.org. Was I not supposed to do that? It seemed that I was linked to it automatically.
  Was I not supposed to get services through BlueHost?
  Sorry, I really have no idea what I’m doing. What’s my next step?

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately, since I’m with the WordPress.com support team, I’m not sure how I can help you with your WordPress.org site (I don’t have access to your files on WordPress.org). However, it seems like you have everything set up for your .org site.

  If you are having trouble logging in, I would speak to the support team at BlueHost. Another great source would be the support community at WordPress.org:

  Hope this helps! And sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
