Title: WordPress.com to WordPress.org Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # WordPress.com to WordPress.org * [elvis7777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elvis7777/) * (@elvis7777) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/) * Hi all, * I am new to WordPress.org, but experienced in WordPress.com * Unpopularmedia.com is a registered domain with WordPress.com, and I have purchased a year of hosting with Siteground. I have installed WordPress through Siteground with an automated installer. * What are my next steps so that I can access my WordPress.org dashboard? I am quite lost on Siteground’s cPanel, and am redirected to WordPress.com whenever I try to access my WordPress.org dashboard/admin login. * Please help 🙂 * Monty Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [elvis7777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elvis7777/) * (@elvis7777) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513032) * I am looking to transfer the content to my Siteground host. AND I don’t want any WordPress.com affiliation on pages found at unpopularmedia.com (at the moment there are still WordPress.com ‘Follow buttons’ and the like on my pages). * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513038) * Hi elvis, * I don’t understand, you go from or outside your host? No problem with that, use your “Export” button. * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513040) * It will give you a pile of XML files or so. Then at your new host, use Import. These are in “Tools” section of your WordPress menu. * You will loose the appeareance still, i think, and need to reconfigure the theme you were using before. * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513041) * But content is never lost. If you have quick questions i’m online for now for like 10 minutes. * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513042) * Sometimes you might need to add the extension needed to export/import wordpress, just add the ones from Automattic. * Thread Starter [elvis7777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elvis7777/) * (@elvis7777) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513048) * Hi Digico, * The trouble I am having is that after having installed WordPress on my host, I do not know how to access my WordPress installation. I can find my File Manager on my host for example, but when I try to access unpopularmedia.com/wp-admin I am redirected to unpopularmedia.wordpress.com/wp-admin * How do I resolve this? * (In regards to importing data, thank you for the help but that appears relatively simple once I have access to my dashboard!) * Thread Starter [elvis7777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elvis7777/) * (@elvis7777) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513049) * I am trying to access my new dashboard through my browser… Am I supposed to access the dashboard internally from my host site? * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513055) * Ok Elvis, can we chat or so? would be faster by sharing screen. * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513057) * I need to reinstall skype, but open to any solution to talk and share screen. * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513059) * mine is: _blank * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513060) * I don’t get it but globally you get it by * [http://yoursite.com/wp-admin](http://yoursite.com/wp-admin) * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513061) * If doesn’t apply if it’s localhost of course, it’s only for your computer then, * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513062) * on your computer it’s like this: * [http://localhost](http://localhost) [http://127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1) * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513063) * Some setups with your host i think, Siteground to attach a name to your site. * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/#post-6513065) * get a domain name attached to a hosting plan or whatever server, then it will be accessible in any browser Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘WordPress.com to WordPress.org’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 18 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * Last activity: [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-24/page/2/#post-6513068) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
