Thanks for getting back to me, but I’m still hopelessly lost and have tried finding answers through support and forums to no avail. So, I’m hoping you will continue to give me some help.

First I can’t even figure out how to login to my wp.org admin. When you go to wp.org there is no login page and the one I did find, again, just gives me this profile thing — no dashboard.

I have downloaded wp from an independently hosted site to .org but the instructions I’m getting from both about activating the site are so confusing. I created an acct with wp.org, but it is unclear if it is as a for subscriber or a site user (as you suggest the problem is) is unclear. I don’t know why this is so difficult for me, but any help you can give me would be most appreciated.

I’ve also tried exporting my .com site to my .org site with the instructions for exporting the xml files, but when I do so I get the msg that you can’t export xml files, only jpegs etc. So why do the instructions tell you you can”! I’m guess that again, it’s because I’m on a subscriber site rather than a user.

If you have the patience to check this out, the instructions are here:

And if you don’t have that patience, and I can’t imagine why you would, can you can point me to someone who will walk me through this on the phone — for pay? Sigh, I guess I will have to do that. I’d really hoped I could figure this out myself as it is a new small biz, but I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks again for any help you can give me. Cheers, Gretchen
