What a day. 2 steps forward 1 step back.
Using Elementor as my webpage builder.
Had to remove one of the images from my home page as it was full sized on the screen. Interesting how it was only one of the 5 images that blew up.
Anyway, deleted it and tried to replace it with another image but whatever i do to the image; Crop, re-size, reduce pixels etc, whenever i try to insert the image it blows up to full size on the screen again. i even tried moving one of my other current images up in replacement of the one i’d removed and that did the same thing.
Is there any way round this.

Also trying to edit my imported website on .org is very difficult. Trying to follow some of the videos on building webpages with Elementor, but not getting any response when trying to drag Elements into the widget box. Anyone have any links on how to navigate this conundrum.
Been on it all day and not getting anywhere fast.
(will post in separate topic and category in case this get’s ignored here because it’s now not relevant to the initial topic heading)

Update : I have all the pages successfully transferred over.

Obviously the pages are aesthetically all over the place so any advice on what i need to do to get it looking like my original page will be very much appreciated.

Success!
Didn’t have any Posts to download, only Pages, so used that option and it worked 1st time. Thank you.
However, there are a couple of anomalies that perhaps you can guide me to overcome.

Firstly, it didn’t transfer all of the Pages. 13 of 16 were successful.
One of the pages was ‘Testimonials’ of which i had just updated that page as a new Testimonial had come in. I remember you had mentioned about not editing the .com site.
It’s possible that the other pages that didn’t transfer were also edited at some point in February before i received that msg from you. How do i get around this please?

Secondly, the transfer doesn’t mirror from .com to .org. In other words the pages look different. Black type over photo instead of the original white out type. Photo’s much larger than original .com page and not centralised.
I guess i am right in saying this is because i had to use a different Theme Page?
My .com Theme was ‘Exford’ but that was not an option in .org so i used something else.
Is there a simple solution or do i need to alter and edit each page individually?

And thirdly, the universallorehealing.org site does not come up as the website page but as the standard ‘Just another WordPress site’ homepage. I’m guessing there is some kind of activation or publish box i need to tick.

Many thanks

Thanks for the reply a2.

That’s it an odd statement from a DreamHost agent

I did wonder at the time, but wasn’t in a position to question.

With regards export/import. I did try twice previously to import the files from the file i successfully exported in wordpress.com. Both times when attempting to import however it came up with Internal Server Error.
If you look at my original message on this thread you will see the steps i took, which i basically followed off the wordpress.com page. link below

Am i getting this Internal Server Error because i have my nameservers pointing to DreamHost?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. The rabbit hole gets deeper, lol. I see DreamHost do a basic package of 1,99 a month. Will that suffice for what i need? If so is what i’m trying to achieve pretty straight forward…..for a novice like me?

Thanks for the reply. You’ll have to forgive me for my comprehension of tech jargon but i think i’m right in saying I bought the domain. Basically I paid money to wordpress.com and made my website through them and then on the wordpress.com site bought the domain name .org a few months later
