The site has been difficult to navigate. Once signed in, the new pages display script only with no options. Trying to update my profile has been a nightmare and is still not correct.

I haven't been able to manage my site because my SSL certificate isn't working. I was initially told it would take 15-30 minutes. Then I was told it could take up to 24 hours. I am a bit frustrated that I can't begin working on my site I just paid for and I have to wait an indefinite period of time to gain access to it.

Bought a 2 year contract in 2018, was never informed of renewal and was charged for 2 more 2 year contracts on auto renewal. Most domain services auto-expire if not renewed.

I bought my domain, tried to pick a theme, and I can no longer log in. The site does not recognize me at all. This has been going on for 2days.

It is a bit challenging understanding how to correctly build the blog page. I am currently taking it step by step with help from a YouTube tutorial.

Relatively easy to navigate and manage changes. Email address setup should be easier - instead of going to Advanced.
