    Hi Kathryn,

    I am now up and running and finally able to start working on the website.

    Thank you very much for all your help and guidance, there is no way I could have done it without your help!

    Hi Kathryn,

    Thank you for your reply, so now I log into my dashboard from my 1and1 self-hosted control panel, and I can install the Jetpack plugin, which is then asking me to “connect” the plugin. When I enter the same login details that I use to access my 1and1 dashboard, it is saying the details are incorrect. It is asking for the log in details to my wordpress.com account, not the account for my domain rftuk.com.

    I am really confused, why would I use wordpress.com login details when I have a self hosted site now?

    Hi Kathryn,

    Thank you for your response. Yes when I go to the link you have inserted above, I can log in with the username and password I created in my 1and1 control panel for my standard mode site and there is now a plugin option available. Does this mean it is fixed?
    Also should there e a portfolio option too, as there isn’t one?
    Thanks for your help, it is massively appreciated.

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the replies. I am having somewhat of a nightmare with this whole process.
    So I have switched my website from Managed to Standard so that I can install plugin’s of my choice. but now when I go into my 1and1 hosting wordpress dashboard there is no “Plugin” option there?? I am confused. There is now a “portfolio” option however which there wasn’t in the managed mode hosting, every cloud eh.

    I have also transferred the domain I registered (RFTUK.COM) with WordPress.com to 1and1, but when I got to edit my site in my 1and1 control panel, the URL is RFTUK.wordpress.com. Should this state wordpress.com?

    This is a whole new thing for me, apologies if my questions are silly.

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice offered

    Hi, I have WP managed hosting with 1and1. I am using the Argent theme but there is no “portfolio” tab in my sashboard. I want the site to look the same as the Argent theme layout but obviously just change the colour schemes and images to match my own needs. I am new to WP and the is the first time I am creating a website using WP. Please help.

    Thanks in advance
