[Stylist] wordpress

[Sherry Gomes]

Yes, I pay for my blog also. And I've tried searching their help area for
info on themes and accessibility and all that with no luck. I work for VFO,
so I'm very experienced with JAWS, as my livelihood depends on it, but it's
been terrible lately trying to work with word press, on their site anyway. I
suppose the thing to do is to start my own web site, but I haven't a clue
about web development, and I don't want to have to learn all that. LOL. I'm
sorry to hear you're having so much trouble too, Linda, but it's also kinda
good to know it isn't just me.

Dave,
I am in a similar situation. I have 2 blogs. I pay for the special theme I
use.
Also, one of the  blogs is a Premium one which I also pay for.
My premium one is not working at all since the beginning of the year,. You
can go on-line and rad it, but I cannot  access my admin pages or dashboard
and have not been able to get any new articles up since the end of December.
This is disgusting! I have had this one for over 3 years.

I am able to get on and make changes in my other blog and have been posting
there. It is my original blog that I started almost 10 years ago. Like you,
I am working full-time on my computer every day. I am just thinking that I
am not going to put in the time to track down the WP people and just let
this one go. This is the one that is a paid-for theme and a paid for premium
plan. I am so not-impressed with this.  The two were synched so that I could
open the  one I wanted from the same location. Now, all I get is the
"loading" signal and nothing more. It never loads.

I have not been able to find where I would even report this or  to whom.
Just lots of ads to buy a new blog.  Lynda

There isn't one answer to this question. WordPress uses themes to control
what you see, where it is, etc. Some themes are accessible, some not, and
some partially. You should try to have a dialogue with whoever is
responsible for the site.
