I don’t know why but SiteGround had to implement some work around for me to get this working. It will have to be reversed when I actually migrate my domain to SiteGround.
Of course now I’m having trouble importing my WordPress.com data to www.ads-software.com… followed the directions exactly and only media transferred, no posts or pages, etc. SiteGround is helping me with this too. At least they seem to have great technical support.
