Better than I imagined

Everyone at Wordpress is super friendly and knowledgeable. They listened to what I was looking for, totally nailed the vibe I wanted, and added some details I wouldn’t have thought to add.

Using WordPress to design my new website

Using WordPress to design my new website was very smooth. The chat AI function is very impressive and responsive. I am new to designing a website and it was able to interpret my clumsy requests and do what I wanted, even if I could not describe things well. And if things didn't work the first time, they stuck with it - sometimes four or more times - until the system did what it should. I rarely understood what they were saying, but it didn't matter, which I truly appreciated. I have already recommended Wordpress to many people; great product!

Well pleased overall

The current version is less intuitive than the preceding one. I'd prefer to never have to spend time on new tech/design/functionality because my needs are so basic (an online cv).

Hi there, 

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We understand that your needs are fairly straightforward, such as keeping your online CV up to date, and that changes to an interface you’re already familiar with can make a simple task feel more complicated than it needs to be.

We’d like to better understand which changes have made things more difficult for you, so we’ve sent a private request for a few additional details. What you share will help us pass along more specific and useful feedback to our developers as they continue working to improve the experience.

The Decline of WordPress Over 12 Years!

Over the past 12 years with WordPress.com, I've experienced a sharp decline in the support offered in my early days using WordPress.

Starting off on the Premium Plan, then upgrading to the expensive Business Plan that advertised "live 24/7 chat support", a couple of weeks after I paid for the upgrade, the rules changed. Support became AI support, which was woeful, and then it was rarely a human on chat support. It was always, "We'll get back to you by email", but most times, this took days of waiting for support, with one time taking 5 days! Not acceptable for a business website.
But that's not all that's declined. WP pushes out updates without thorough testing and expects its users to find and report bugs, saving WP time and money. It's pathetic!

Deciding to migrate my site to LiquidWeb, where my other site is hosted, today, I contacted support and finally had a human on chat. I was advised that WP does not pro-rata or give a refund even on a 2-year Business Plan subscription, even though I have 1 year and 4 months left. Ouch! The final sting! No wonder WP is losing customers!

My experience over the past decade-plus is that WP has got greedier while providing less support. I'm definitely migrating my site to LiquidWeb, as the support provided is live 24/7 with a human, and I can't fault this host after almost 3 years with my other business website.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

You've raised specific concerns, and they deserve a response. The changes to how chat support is delivered and the wait times you describe are not the experience we want anyone to have, least of all a long-standing customer running a business site. Waiting days for a reply on a business-critical issue is a fair reason to be frustrated, and we won't try to explain that away.

On the plan and billing side, we’d like the chance to look more closely at your account and the options available to you.

If you're open to it, even with your move to LiquidWeb underway, we’d welcome the opportunity to review everything with you directly. We’ve requested more information privately so we can reach out to you to get started.

Whatever you decide about hosting, we’d like to make sure your remaining time with us is handled properly.

Best regards,
The WordPress.com Team

Easy to use

Easy to use, lots of choices for setting up posts and pages. I do get quite a few emails from google saying there are "indexing issues" - I don't know how to fix these. I use WordPress because I don't have the expertise to set up my own blog or fix issues such as indexing so would be good if these were taken care of by wordpress.

Hi Bernie, 

Thank you so much for the feedback! We're really glad to hear that you find it easy to set up your posts and pages.

We also hear you about the Google "indexing issues" emails. Those notices can be confusing, but the good news is they often don't mean anything is broken. We've reached out to you separately to learn more about what you're seeing and help you make sense of it.

We're looking forward to hearing back and getting this sorted with you.
