I’d like to switch my website to DreamHost so I can give a web designer access to control panel and FTP. My site is currently set up through WordPress.com. If I switch to DreamHost, will Newspaper theme still work as normal? DreamHost told me, “you should check the specifications due to, we currently handle wordpress.org, not wordpress.com, so if there is any outdated spec, you might have problems with the transfer.” I’m not sure how to check the specifications. Can anyone help? I don’t know much about hosting. Thank you!
Hi,
I think that what you want to achieve is to move the website/theme to another domain, you can do this in more ways, one you can reset the licence -> https://i.imgur.com/pVoFs92.png after that you can use it on the new install, or if you want you can migrate the site on the new domain, this can be done using some plugins -> https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-to-a-new-host-or-server-with-no-downtime/
