Title: Moving WordPress.org to WordPress.org Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Moving WordPress.org to WordPress.org * Resolved [Chloeharris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chloeharris/) * (@chloeharris) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpressorg-to-wordpressorg/) * Hello Sir/Madam,  * I have my site create by a web designer who has my site on his nameserver, I put him £1100 to designer my site and for theme chocolate. I have got my own nameserver so I asked him if he would give hostagator permission to transfer my site to my own nameserver but he is being ignoring all my request even through I am the only administrator for my wordpress site and I own the domain name myself and he doesn’t have anything to do with my site anymore. After I told him that I have to get my site transfer so can have my own email _[redacted]_ and my site will be on my own server. * He is now wanting my to pay him another $500 to transfer my site to my own nameserver when I have already paid him £1100 for the site when he didn’t finish so I had to get my friend to finish it for me and do the coding so that my site does not point at other sites. * My site http://mychloeharris.com i am transfer for me my wordpress site that is at gator1786 /home/trey/public_html/MyChloeharris.com transferred to gator956. But I now need to be on my own nameserver. * I was wondering if I do export and import would that transfer my theme which is on my old WordPress or is they any other way I can transfer my files. * Hostgator said that they cant transfer, they said “before we can transfer any information from the trey account on gator1786 to your account, we will need some form of verification from the source account. This verification can be any one of the following for the source account for trey: * The cPanel username and password The FTP username and password The last four digits of the credit card number on the account  The most recent PayPal transaction number The Security PIN * But Trey is not cooperation and even if I give the $500 I have no guarantee that he will give me the details to transfer my account.. * Maybe I should contact someone for legal to ask for advise? * Hope some body can help Chloe, * _Mod Note – email was removed to avoid spam, and it’s not needed here_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Rev.

We have no authority, no link, and no physical way to do anything to help. * Hopefully you have some sort of contract? The only real way to work this out is by having your developer cooperate. If you cannot facilitate that, then a lawyer might be your best option. * I hope you are able to get this worked out! * Thread Starter [Chloeharris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chloeharris/) * (@chloeharris) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpressorg-to-wordpressorg/#post-3808986) * Hello  * I think you misunderstood the question, I was checking if I export my content from my current wordpress account and set up a new WordPress account and import the content, I am able to transfer my chocolate theme which I purchased in my old site into the new WordPress account or do I need to buy a new themes. * I do understand that to get my site transferred I need legal help. * Thank you * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpressorg-to-wordpressorg/#post-3808987) * Assuming these are self-hosted sites, you can re-use your commercial theme as often as its license permits. * Thread Starter [Chloeharris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chloeharris/) * (@chloeharris) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpressorg-to-wordpressorg/#post-3808988) * OK so he theme will transfer into my new site using export and import? * Thanks * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpressorg-to-wordpressorg/#post-3808989) * No – you have to install it manually on the new site. * Thread Starter [Chloeharris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chloeharris/) * (@chloeharris) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpressorg-to-wordpressorg/#post-3808990) * Ok that fine.
