Problem moving site from WordPress.com
-
Hello. I have created WordPress sites before on different hosting providers, however the most recent one I created I did completely on WordPress.com. I soon found out the restrictions of doing so and some plugins I wanted, etc., not being able to work. So, I did a complete back up of my site and migrated/reinstalled it with another hosting company. After it completed and I changed DNS servers, the site was not visible. With some browsers I get error saying: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID. With other browsers I just get “The site is experiencing technical difficulties.”
I was in long tech support chat and they could’t figure it. They said the wp-config.php file that we have is missing some crucial database information. There seems to be some trouble with connecting the wp-config to the database, even with a custom- generated wp-config file they tried creating so escalating to upper support to look.
Has anyone else experienced problems moving a site from wordpress.com?

Thank you Steve for your help. WP was already installed on my server account before I migrated site as it was specifically a plan for WordPress sites. Maybe it overwrote what was in place? And I’m not technically inclined but would think this would have been something simple enough for a tech support person to figure out after being in a chat with them for 45 min and them consulting others… then giving up to escalate my issue.
In any case, thank you. I will pass along that info and see what happens.
