so absolutely disgustingly bad i cant believe
first of all ridiculous pricing because people associate them with wordpress.org
then when you actually want to use their wordpress and domain management, you can run into some loops as they just try to get more money out of you by upgrading
run from this service like the plague, there's far better priced and quality services than this

Wordpress bugs

I’ve been working on my website with WordPress for about a month on a paid plan, and I’ve experienced a series of ongoing issues.

These have ranged from my nav bar repeatedly reverting to an old, not-working version, to my social accounts still not connecting properly. Yesterday, I logged in to check something and found that, on some pages, all the images were running together and the paragraph spacing had disappeared. I hadn’t made any changes to the site that day.

When I contacted support, the response was that I was using the wrong browser, followed by the suggestion that I had accidentally caused the issue myself. This has become a pattern. Each time I report a problem, the assumption is user error. After a lot of back and forth, sometimes over several days, WordPress confirms that the issue is a bug on their side.

This experience is more difficult because you are not dealing with one support adviser. That might change mid-conversation, so you have to keep explaining the problem.

I’m posting this review because, given the number of bugs I’ve experienced, I feel there may be something wrong with my account. I’m not looking for another round of troubleshooting. I would like someone to take an overview of my account, the backend and the pages, and investigate whether there is an underlying issue.

WordPress have offered me a refund, and that might be the best option. But after spending days of my life trying to get the site right, I would rather the glitches were identified and fixed.

Can someone please take a proper look through my account?

EDIT. Thanks for getting back to me: that username is ponylouder

Thanks so much for the username.

What I'm going to do right now is email you from the account email so we can connect and start resolving this.

You should get that in the next 15 minutes or so, but if you don't, feel free to update us here, and we can find out why the message doesn't get through.

Hello there,

Firstly, we're really sorry to hear about this experience you have had. It's not at all what we plan to deliver, and so we want to investigate and also check your account for you too.

I couldn't see in your message which site we need to look at or which account it's for. If you can share a username (please don't share a password), we can find your email and message you to get the private details needed to look into this and resolve it.

Looking forward to your message so we can get this resolved for you.

Top Notch Support and Site Migration

I was very impressed with Wordpress hosting site migration and support. Top notch associates help online after migration and scheduled introduction to Wordpress.com. Overall I’d highly recommend for an affordable website and support. It took the stress out of my move for a non-profit site to a helpful affordable option. Dallas was amazingly knowledgeable and helpful!

Enjoy Working with WordPress support

Working with WordPress support is always a great experience. They helped me solve the one problem about turning on Help. Turns out it was fairly simple and a little change to the interface. As far as trying to help me with the review page, we didn’t get very far. I didn’t really draw a conclusion just gave me some ideas which is good. I’m in advanced computer person anyway.

I’d do it again

A good blogging website

I’ve been blogging on WordPress now for about seven years. The site has its ups and downs and definitely things that could probably be improved but overall it’s a pretty reliable site and if you have any issues, there is actually a human being that helps you in their customer service.

Working with the wordpress.com express website design team

Working with the wordPress.com express website design team has been a genuinely enjoyable experience.

From the very beginning, the team took the time to understand not only what I wanted the website to look like, but what Greenwayofliving represents as a long-term cultural and editorial platform. Throughout the project they were responsive, patient, thoughtful, and incredibly collaborative.

Every question was answered with care, and every stage of the process felt like a partnership rather than a simple service. Their willingness to listen and refine ideas helped transform an initial concept into a website that truly reflects the spirit of the project.

As someone building a platform designed to grow over many years, having a team that values quality, communication, and attention to detail made all the difference.

I would happily recommend the WordPress.com express website design service to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and genuinely collaborative experience.

Thank you to the entire team for helping bring Greenwayofliving to life.

For what it's worth

For what it's worth, Wordpress does very well for setting up websites. It has an easy to use interface with smooth navigation. The one thing that could use some improvement is providing solutions and plugins for free users. Not everyone has deep pockets.

Other than that, it's very good overall.

DO NOT TRUST IN WORDPRESS

I had been a customer of IONOS for over ten years. In the last few years, IONOS has been using WordPress for website development. I trust IONOS, so I started using WordPress. Though I encountered some difficulties, IONOS's support helped me. My nightmare started when I published my blog. Foreign organizations and hackers had used it to promote all kinds of websites, including pornographic ones. I have to dedicate a lot of time EVERY DAY to clean out my blog. It has happened for months now. I tried to find help without success. Even escalated the case in IONOS customer service. They say I should follow what I already tried, without success. DO NOT TRUST IN WORDPRESS as a tool in IONOS.

Hi Alfonso,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We want to clarify that we are WordPress.com, a separate platform from IONOS, and what you are describing sounds like a configuration issue specific to how WordPress is set up through IONOS. For the most accurate feedback, we'd encourage you to leave a review directly on IONOS's Trustpilot page, as they would be best placed to address the issues you've encountered.
