Hi CureWP, thanks for your help!

I’m really just wondering why my WordPress blog would no longer be able to be accessed. When I click “My Site” there is a banner that says “You don’t have a WordPress site.” I’ve been using WordPress for the past two years with no problems until I tried to change platforms. After that it seems to have completely disappeared for me to access my files from.

How can I find out where my older content has gone through WordPress? It seems silly but Bluehost isn’t able to give me any backups in anything other than a .zip and .tar file… which won’t work on importing. I’m in desperate need of the xml file that can be exported from WordPress.

I hope this all makes sense! I feel so disappointed that I can’t seem to figure this issue out. Thanks again for any guidance you can send my way!

Thanks so much! Changing the URL makes me nervous, because it is connected to Squarespace now. Do you know if this will make any difference?

I’m also curious about why WordPress would erase my website. When I log in, it’s almost as if it never existed at all. No website listed at all. So strange! Any ideas on why this would happen?

Yes, I’ve already started the process of moving my site. And unfortunately all URLs for the older blog posts show up as “not existing” unless it’s the general home page or was created after I started designing on Squarespace. (By the way, my website is https://www.roamandgolightly.com if you want to take a look) I’ll reach out to their customer support to see if these files can be uploaded. Is there any other way to get the XML files? Thank you so, so much!

Hi Geoffrey! Thanks for the quick response. I switched over for a few reasons, but the biggest one being an integrated approach to commerce. I’ll definitely give this a go! I hadn’t known about the FTP approach to exporting the data. Will it be an xml file?

It was hosted with Bluehost… platform was WordPress. Any ideas?

Thanks jayseae. How can I go about finding and fixing the fb:admin value issue? I’m kind of a novice.
