 * I’m a new admin on an existing site, and we just switched domains from .com to.
   org.
    I can “visit site” and see the existing website intact, but the dashboard
   shows only the introductory “hello world” post and “sample” page. Any thoughts
   on how to access the old site to edit it? I do Not wat to rebuild it from scratch
   if i don’t have to… I checked with the website hosts and they don’t know what
   to tell me – any thoughts are welcome at this point.

 * What was the original url of your old wordpress.com site?

 * original url naturalburialground.com
    new url naturalburialground.org should 
   theoretically have access to both sites – in actuality can’t get into either 
   one.

 * hmm – I asked GoDaddy – which hosts the site, whether that was in fact the problem–
   they said that it was a wordpress site… which means we don’t know What kind of
   site it is – can you tell?

 * [http://naturalburialground.com/wp-admin](http://naturalburialground.com/wp-admin)–
   Isn’t that the dashboard to the old site?

 * The site I can see at that url is NOT a WordPress site.
