eurovision   10 #1 Posted October 28, 2018 1. Can you tell if the site was made on .com or .org? 2. Can you tell which theme is used?  Thanks so much for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ghozer   112 #2 Posted October 28, 2018 The theme usually has a copyright notice or credit of some sort in the info at the bottom, if not, it MAY be in the source code, - it depends if the theme creator has done it that way though..  and what do you mean, if the site was "made on .com or .org"?  .com and .org are TLD's (top level domains) and are nothing to do with the software used on the site...

eurovision   10 #3 Posted October 28, 2018 Thanks for the reply.  .com and .org are TLD's (top level domains) and are nothing to do with the software used on the site...  .org is WordPress as we know it, .com is like out-of-the-box website builder. Someone does not need any knowledge in web design to create a website on WordPress.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   214 #4 Posted October 29, 2018 .org is WordPress as we know it, .com is like out-of-the-box website builder. Someone does not need any knowledge in web design to create a website on WordPress.com.  Sorry, you're wrong.  Anyone can create a website in any way whatsoever, either with a content managing tool like Wordpress, or good old hand written HTML.  And then anyone can buy a domain name with any extension they want.  The website extension .COM, .ORG, .CO, .BIZ has no bearing on the former whatsoever.  .ORG was around long before wordpress.  The domain ".org" was one of the original top-level domains with com, us, edu, gov, mil and net, established in January 1985. It was originally intended for non-profit organizations or organizations of a non-commercial character that did not meet the requirements for other gTLDs.

Lastnet IT Â Â 10 #5 Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) He/she is talking about wordpress.com and wordpress.org. The .org site hosts the (free) Wordpress software. The .com site is also a wordpress site, but sells hosted Wordpress solutions. Â To answer your question @eurovision: https://whatwpthemeisthat.com/ will tell you the theme. Â You can find out if a site is hosted on wordpress.com by pinging the site (http://www.whatever.etc) to get the IP address, then nslookup the IP address (it will say [servername].wordpress.com if hosted on wordpress.com). Â Shameless self plug: we host wordpress sites if you're looking for a host Edited October 30, 2018 by Lastnet IT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
