• I previously operated Gustafun.com off of WordPress.com, but I just recently bought my own domain hosting and now I want to switch to ww.wp.xz.cn. I’m hosting through BlueHost, I’ve got WordPress installed there, but how do I get everything up and running?

    Thanks!

    Is it possible to operate Gustfaun.com with ww.wp.xz.cn if I’ve been operating it with WordPress.com?

    If you already have wordpress installed on your host, it looks like all you have left to do is import the wordpress.com database and upload a new theme or some plugins if you would like to. To import your database, in your wordpress.com site just go to Manage -> Export and export the database. To import the database, in your own wordpress go to Manage -> Import -> WordPress and import your database. If your database is over 2M large you will need to increase the upload_max_filesize in your php.ini file.

    Okay, sounds good. But how do I log into my own wordpress? When I go to Gustafun.com/wp-admin, it takes me to the WordPress.com login screen. Is there a way of getting onto the ww.wp.xz.cn login?

    I just visited your wp-admin and it takes you to your own admin login section, which is the correct place. It looks the same as logging into wordpress.com did, but it is not the same. The important thing is the URL which you are visiting.

    Hm, okay. I used SimpleScripts through BlueHost to install WordPress, but the username and password it’s giving me don’t work. Is it possible I just need to wait a day or two?

    No, you shouldn’t have to wait for that. See Resetting Your Password and change your password to a know value. Typically, WordPress installs one user, Username = admin.
