Question by : is there a way to import a wordpress.com site that also includes the template to go to a self hosted wordpress?
The wordpress.com to wordpress.org transfer methods found only involve the wordpress plugin”import/export” or a $ 100 service from what I’ve seen. I’ve used the first method to transfer a site and realized it doesn’t transfer the entire site, excluding modifications you may have done to the template. Self hosted transfers are easy, but wordpress.com transfers seem more limiting, is there any way to transfer the mysql database and entire site when you are starting from a wordpress.com domain?

You can only get the export in an xml file as far as I know, using the wordpress export tool. And the templates on wordpress.com are not yours, they’re only on loan, so you can’t get the modifications for that either, although I suppose if you found the same theme on the internet, you could copy and paste the css file and upload to the theme directory.

Question by Chlorovote: Removing Facebook Phishing site?
I was trying to install Joomla on my computer, when I tried to open localhost on my web browser, it shows this annoying Facebook Security Check which I knew it was a phishing site. Instead of showing my WAMP thingy it shows this facebook site.
How do I remove this? I need to install Joomla

This will happen if you log in from another device like your phone or from another PC.

Question by Amber T: Is wordpress better for an ecommerce site or joomla?
I am trying to build a website similar to buywithme.com and I originally thought of using Joomla but what is holding me back is the security issues and i don’t believe they have all the modules I need. I was thinking of Drupal but I need a site up in 2 weeks and everyone just laughed when I said that and someone mentioned using Word press. I googled WordPress but i have gotten mixed reviews oh using it as an ecommerce. Does anyone have any ideas what to use? I need to be set on a cms tonight if i am going to make my deadline. Thanks!

The security issues depend on the payment gateway you use. Using something like PayPal will eliminate having to use a secure server and buying a SSL certificate. Maybe look into these:
