I made a website in WordPress and I couldn’t customize it the way I wanted to. I signed up for the basic/free boldgrid . It is tied to my WordPress account and I re-designed my project. I can’t get it to write over The ugly thing I started with in WordPress. The file I have says demo2…… instead of the url I chose in WP. What am I doing wrong?
Hello, thanks for the question, I’m sorry you’re having trouble overwriting your older website.
When you’re looking at the website on the domain https://demo2.cloudwp.dev, you’re looking at your Cloud WordPress staging website. In order to transfer it to your domain and replace your old WordPress website, follow the steps in this article on how to migrate your Cloud WordPress website.
I hope this helps!
Thank you. I ended up using the export/import of the xml file because I was trying to update my WPress site. It partly worked. I have my Boldgrid content but it’s stuck in a right hand block of my WP site. [redacted].com. It seems to but placed in an intractable theme.
Any ideas?
Hello,
Thanks for writing back, I see what you mean.
This is actually a very common misconception because WordPress.com (the blog/website hosting company) is very different from WordPress (the open-source website software that BoldGrid’s products are built upon). There are actually a lot of articles about the differences between the two entities precisely because this has been confusing new website creators for a long time.
One of the major differences is that for your website, hosted on WordPress.com, you won’t have the freedom to install BoldGrid’s plugins and themes. As you noted, you can import your content using the xml import function, but you’ll need to use one of the themes that WordPress.com provides to you to style the look and feel of your website.
If you do want more freedom to use WordPress (the software), we recommend trying out one of these fantastic WordPress web hosting providers.
I hope this helps!
