Troubleshooting Steps
If WordPress.com is down for everyone:
- Check official status or support channels
- Wait for restoration before repeated login/payment attempts
- Monitor this page for live technical changes
If it's only down for you:
- Clear browser cache
- Try another browser or device
- Restart router
- Flush DNS cache
- Try mobile data instead of WiFi
- Disable VPN/proxy
Start with the fastest local checks before changing account, billing or security settings. Refresh wordpress.com, open it in a private window, clear browser cache, flush DNS, temporarily disable VPN or proxy tools and try a mobile hotspot or different Wi-Fi network. Good service-specific checks include: Refresh and test a private window; Try another device or network; Disable VPN/proxy temporarily; Compare with the live technical result on this page. If the result here is DOWN, wait a few minutes and check official channels before repeatedly logging in, paying, uploading files or retrying sensitive actions. If the result is UP, the issue may be local, regional or account-specific.
Flush DNS Cache Commands:
ipconfig /flushdnssudo dscacheutil -flushcachesudo systemd-resolve --flush-cachesOfficial Status & Verification
