 * Thanks for getting in touch [@asbbuilders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asbbuilders/).
   Based on the mention of moving to Wix and then back over to WordPress again, 
   I suspect that what may be happening is some of your site URLs on the Site Kit
   service are looking at your old set up, when initially using WordPress. To ensure
   you can use Site Kit once more, please share the following:
    1. Your[ Site Health information](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png). You can[ use this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/)
       to share privately if preferred. 
    2. While you mentioned you had Site Kit set up on your previous host, before migrating,
       was this using the exact same URL, wp-admin path, and WordPress directory? If
       not, please share any differences between that site and your current site.
 * Note that another option that may allow you to complete set up, is to modify 
   your site URLs in order to proceed, by removing the www prefix for your site 
   in your WordPress general settings (Settings > General > Site URL and WordPress
   Address URL). If you add a www prefix to both site URLs you may be able to complete
   setup, in particular if this was a prefix used for your site previously before
   moving to Wix.
 * Another possibility would be to change the site title within the same settings(
   Settings > General > Site title). Changing the title can be useful if you didn’t
   happen to reset Site Kit first.
 * Let me know if you have any questions with the above. Thank you.

 * I’m just following up with you to check whether the error remains? If so please
   share the information requested above and we can investigate further.

 * As we didn’t receive a response I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open
   a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic
   and we’d be happy to assist.
