I may be old but the 3 types of plans didnt exist when i started on wordpress. Thank you very much! unfortunately the free plan has the dashboard i dont want so ill have to resort to bluehost+ wordpress.

Thank you everyone!

Thank you Xenos,
this is exactly what i meant when i said i wanted to get back on wordpress for free, instead of paying host+domain again.

It is clear that it’s not possible anymore. I used to have a website hosted on wordpress, therefore my blogs name was thisandthat.wordpress where i could put plugins for free and edit it with the black dashboard and menu. Then i turned to paid host+domain with bluehost+wordpress.

Now it looks like if you want a free wordpress website you have to use the wordpress.com dashboard only, which i really dislike.

Therefore my only option with the black dashboard is to resort to paying a new host again? There is no free access to it?

this is not what i asked. I want to move back my website to wordpress because its the one I used to use and enjoyed. the dashboard of wordpress i used was that one, so i dont understand what the fuss is all about. why cant i use the black dashboard ? Ive used that for years and now you’re telling its not possible? If I am the admin of my own website why shouldn’t I?

I just want to transfer my website back to wordpress and work with the black interface that is normal for every blogger on wordpress.

I understand, thank you very much.

So why question now is: where do i have to go to access the black dashboard and menu of wordpress org that you can see here: https://www.ads-software.com

The menu with the tabs for: Dashboard, Posts, media, pages, comments, appearance, plugins, etc?

I created a new profile on wordpress org and then i arrived on the dashboard of the website I am trying to build but the menu and dashboard are completely empty and I cannot build it.

I cannot access any action on the menu, therefore I cannot create a blogpost, a layout. there is nothing. this is why I am asking for help.

Why is there nothing on it? I cannot access the free website associated with a wordpress org profile.

Like i said, I am not using wordpress org. I run my website on squarespace.

I used to use wordpress org before though, for free of course because it has always been free. What I meant is that i then started using a domain and host service in conjunction with wordpress org, therefore thats what i mean when i said i was not using it for free.

Now. today i decided to create a new website with wordpress org, but my profile is empty: the dashboard is empty and on the menu on the left the the only tab available is the profile tab. The entire menu is missing.

My question is why? Is it because I have to associate a paid domain+host with it?

The wordpress.com dashboard is light blue and grey, whereas the wordpress org is black and with all the infos on the left side. I have always used the black version. I never used the light blue and grey dashboard of wordpress com

I used wordpress org with a paid hosting and domain, then moved wot squarespace. A regrettable choice.

I would like to start a new blog with wordpress org, but for free this time. Is it not possible without a paid domain and host somewhere else?

the black dashboard they show here https://www.ads-software.com is the one i used to have for free and also when i transferred to a paid domain and host.
