WordPress works for us!

Being very inexperienced at running a website, I have found WordPress to be very user friendly. We are two years in and I honestly am so used to WordPress and it's layout, format that I don't think I could achieve what I have without it.

shameless marketing, sales pitches and pushing to buy more from them

marketing, sales pitches and pushing to buy more from them

The blog that I have with them, from the very star and since then continuously for many, many years, is not their free plan, but the payable Personal plan.

And they cannot know that there is absolutely no commercial content of any sorts in my blog. Unless their algorithms and AI robots are incredibly dumb.

Yet, they keep bombarding me with offers to upgrade, to purchase plugins, to do this and to do that by paying them more money.

What they are doing is fishing with a net…

In my case, it has become a harassment.

It is very disappointing, considering that have paid a lot of money to them, for many, many years, for a blog which has never been created nor ever used for any pecuniary purposes.

I guess they are also fishing with a rod. And they think that they have hooked me.

The most dishonest way they are trying to push me into buying something that iIdo not need at all, is by distorting my stats !! So that I pay them more, if I want to even see them ! While my blog has ZERO commercial content.

Shame.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback! 

Getting a steady stream of upgrade prompts on a blog you've paid for and kept personal for years is genuinely wearing, and we don't want you to feel pushed like this. Two things should help right away.

You can switch off the promotional and product emails. In your account, open your email and notification preferences at wordpress.com/me/notifications/updates and turn off the update categories you don't want. Those control the offers and marketing messages, separately from essential account emails: https://wordpress.com/support/notifications/

On your stats: Jetpack Stats stays free for personal, non-commercial sites, with no paywall. The prompts to pay usually mean a site has been automatically classified as commercial. If that's happened to your blog by mistake, it can be corrected. You can request a re-evaluation of that classification from your site's stats dashboard, and once it's confirmed non-commercial, the paid prompts stop and your stats stay free. Here's how the classification works: https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-stats/free-or-paid/

We'd much rather fix this for you than leave it as a bad experience. If you're open to it, please watch for an email from our team and we'll review your site's classification and make sure your email preferences are set exactly how you want them.

Best,
The WordPress.com Team

Brother Don Website redesign

A Beautiful, Thoughtful, and Truly Professional Website Design

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to David, Yanno, and the entire WordPress Express Website Design team for the beautiful, thoughtful, and truly professional design they created for my Brother Don site.

When I opened the finished design, I felt deeply pleased and thankful. They captured the look, the warmth, and the gentle feel I had longed for — and I love it very much. Although this is part of their daily work, it is clear that they take real pride in what they produce for their customers. That care shows in every detail, and I cannot thank them enough for the way they have shaped this space.

Their communication was clear, their guidance was helpful, and the final result exceeded every expectation. I am grateful for their kindness, their skill, and the way they honoured the heart behind the Brother Don ministry.

Warmest regards,
Brother Don

Pathetic inexistent customer service

One of our customers registered two domains through WordPress.com, and they’ve suddenly disappeared from the Domains tab for no apparent reason. If we try to access them through the “Manage” link on the invoice, we just get a 500 error.

This should be a pretty straightforward issue for their support team to fix… if only they would actually respond.

I’ve contacted them twice. Both times, it took around 24 hours to get a generic response that completely ignored the actual issue. Even worse, they close the ticket immediately after replying, so I can’t even respond to clarify the problem.

At this point, I’m seriously considering filing a complaint with ICANN.

AI Within Wordpress

I needed to rebuild my website after years of "adapting" it, and chose to use the AI within Wordpress to do that.

The videos imply that you can give your instructions, and minutes later you get a nearly perfect website.

That wasn't really my experience!

The AI created what I wanted some of the time, and then managed to change it around some of the time. And the rest of the time, it was frustrating with it going around in circles.

However, with help from support, and also using Claude, and my intuition with Wordpress, I was able to build my own website, which looks great, and which I am happy with, within a few evenings.

Which frankly is amazing, when you consider how it used to be with websites.

private information shared by AI

I tried to make my own page, but I didn't want to start from scratch, so I tried AI prompt. I tought it was just a suggestion but it already appeared on my page. It included my contant information, that AI published without my permission. I only linked instagram but it also showed my email without letting me know. Edit: I tried to delete it multiple times, it's finally gone after multiple days.

Website creation experience with Nick.

08/21/2026, second onboarding session, Nick quickly identified the errors I made in the new page I created (incorrect post page and cliches prevented connecting new page from the original home page). He explained the errors thoroughly and made corrections accordingly.

He also showed me how to use Button style link and to use different color variations to prompt the website visitor's attention. In addition, I also learned to link a word document to a sentence within the button style link.

We cleared all the huddles mentioned above with 15 minutes. With 2 -15 minutes onboarding sessions (last one was 4 days ago), I have extended my website from original 1 only to 4 functional pages now.

Awesome, Nick! Your expertise rocks! Appreciate the onboarding support.

Zohair was everything I could have…

Zohair was everything I could have asked for in a Guide to get on board. I am an old gal, what they used to call a Secretary, and I have NO knowledge of how websites work behind the scenes. I had thought that I had accomplished getting the site moved completely to WordPress but found out that cannot be done without authorization info that's been gone for years (probably at least a decade).
Zohair was a steady hand throughout. He saw I was panicking and was patient and supportive, helping me to maintain my sanity as we moved through the call. He ended up giving me complete confidence that, together, we will get this successfully accomplished.... something I really needed desperately at this point. Also, he has agreed to continue working with me, a gift rarely given anymore in current support systems.
He has followed up with everything I need - a recap of our meeting, my forward action, and how to get back in touch with him.
In today's world with AI, bots, chat, and other more obtuse options for help, Zohair was like an unexpected miracle! For me, he is making ALL the difference, and I am grateful with my whole heart and being.
I hope that WordPress reads this and understands what a huge asset Zohair is to the company, not to mention the incredible difference he makes for his clients.

Hi Carolyn, 

This absolutely made our day, thank you for taking the time to write it!

It sounds like Zohair showed up exactly when you needed him most, and turned a stressful, panicky moment into something manageable, and we're glad they were able to help you out. 

Also, please don't feel like you're behind, that behind-the-scenes website stuff throws almost everyone. Wanting a real person in your corner isn't an "old gal" thing at all, it's exactly what we're here for and Zohair clearly took that to heart.

We'll make sure your words reach the people who need to hear them, Zohair very much included. Thank you for trusting us to help!

Broadly I’ve found the Onboarding team and service incredibly helpful. For me as an idiot tech person with little finesse this has meant I’ve actually learnt things from staff about how to use the Dashboard.

More specifically I’ve enjoyed working with Nick who has helped make some significant additions to my website which weren’t automatically installed on building. Very helpful!!

I’d say Nick has made intuitive changes supporting my thoughts to get the website doing thing which are specific to how I want to personally do things like involve visitors in my second book development. This has involved categorising blogs and developing journals.

I’m sure I’ll need this service again and I’m feeling much more confident knowing Onboarding is there. Well done.

We truly appreciate you for taking the time to share this feedback. It genuinely means a lot to hear that the Onboarding team helped you feel more confident navigating the Dashboard, and that you came away having learned a few things along the way.

Nick will be thrilled to read this. It sounds like they really got what you were going for, from sorting out your blog categories to setting up the journals and finding ways to pull your visitors into your second book's development. That's exactly the kind of thing we love helping with.

Wishing you all the best with the book and everything you're creating. We'll be right here whenever you need us again.

Good Platform

I've been using WordPress for 15 years. They have good designs and packages. If you don't want to spend the money, you can use it for free with their name in your domain address. My biggest gripe with them is their line spacing which can drive you nuts. It is NOT WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).
