Dig it. I got that. Trying to straighten out the problem caused by my misunderstanding of this a few days ago when my hosted site got moved over to www.ads-software.com. If it was still on the WordPress.com site with the rest of my sites I could have them host it right now and make all the changes I need to, or better, migrate new site to the domain.

Guess I’ll try the mapping route in the meantime, though having it hosted by WordPress.com seems 100 times better long term solution. I’m waiting to hear back on the WordPress.com forum.

Thanks again.

I’m the process of trying to get WordPress.com to host wehearyou.net. The site seems to have migrated from .com to .org when I logged into the www.ads-software.com forum the other night…. hence I am at the moment unable to select it for premium service…

Not easy being green, as Kermit once said.

Yikes. After reading the differences it really makes no sense to have an outside host for a WordPress created site, unless you’re really into the design and problem solving end.

I should just switch over the WordPress.com as the host. I was already paying for hosting so I just used them… creating the headaches I probably never would have had to deal with!

Thanks again.

Thanks again, James. Read the instructions again, sounds straightforward, will try it when I’m fresh tomorrow. I’ll be happy not to involve GoDaddy.

Odd thing about wehearyou.net disappearing from list of my sites at WordPress admin page is that it had been there for 2 years or so, until just the other day, right around the time much of its functionality dropped away.

James, thanks for this reply. I’ve read the linked pages once, and will need to read ’em a few more times. That was one of the things I suggested to GoDaddy, though I didn’t know the term “map” and I have no idea how to back up the files I’ve created in WordPress to my hard drive, which they suggested I make sure to do before I delete the old site.

Not sure if the new site would work either– as there seems to be some conflict with something at GoDaddy, the WordPress dashboard appears differently on the GoDaddy hosted site and I notice it’s recently absent from my pull-down menu of sites when I’m on WordPress, (just disappeared yesterday) but it’s worth a try. They could always restore the old (nonfunctional) one, right?
