It is fixed now and all thanks to the very professional help of the Support Team at wordpress. Their rep, Daniel by name, solved it in less than 2 minutes. My hat, if I was wearing one, would be off to him and them, but since I am not wearing one, I just want to make this very public acknowledgement of their help. Thank you.
They are very efficient. I’ve had some issues of my own with respect to some of my blogs and they’ve always solved them.
Great! I’ve always had very quick and good responses from the WordPress team.
I have always found the WordPress team very ready to help as well
The support team is amazing! They’ve helped me out more than once.
