I also already have multiple posts up and have had this wordpress since back in 2013, but it’s only recently that I bought my own domain name. Not sure if that makes any difference at all.
Also not sure if this helps: whenever I google how to do this all I get are things called ‘plugins’ but I do not have access to any plugins at all, I don’t see anything about a plugin on my wordpress. Most of the youtube tutorials have it right underneath appearances but mine isn’t there.
So I found most of the information I need, I just need to know where to find the plugins panel on wordpress.
I don’t see anything about a plugin on my wordpress.
I’m guessing your site is hosted on WordPress.COM in which case you cannot use plugins ever. See:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
You also need to use their forums for support, not here – these forums here are for self-hosted WordPress.ORG sites – not the same thing but often confusing.
I did not understand that difference before, thank you. Sorry to place my question in the wrong place.
But that leads me to another question now… how do I change it over to the .org?
Same issues apply to you:
Is this a self-hosted wordpress site or wordpress.COM?
If self-hosted, are you logged in as admin?
Edit: Oops, slow again! 🙂
Yes to admin, didn’t understand the thing about .com not being able to use plugins ever.
So now the question I have is this:
how to change from .com to .org and not lose all of my stuff?
You’re welcome, come back if you need more help as you get moved!
