Hi there,
It sounds like you've had a truly frustrating experience trying to get support, and I want to make sure we look into this.
I can assure you that we are real humans here, and we genuinely want to help resolve these issues. We weren't able to locate an account or website based on this review, and we definitely want to check the history and see what happened.
Sometimes, confusion can arise because there are two versions of WordPress: the software from WordPress.org and our hosting service, WordPress.com. They have different interfaces, support options, and plugin rules, which might explain the difficulties you described with the interface and Google Site Kit.
To get this sorted out, could you please email our team directly at help@wordpress.com? If you include your website address (domain) in that email, we can find your account and investigate these specific concerns properly.
We look forward to hearing from you so we can help get things back on track.

Hi Stan,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that WordPress can have a bit of a learning curve. The good news is that once you get comfortable with it, the skills you learn can be used on any WordPress site, even on different hosts. That is one of the benefits of working with an open-source and non-proprietary platform.
We know it is not always easy, and we are continually working with our developers to make things simpler in the long term. If you would like some extra guidance, we also offer free video courses that can help you get more familiar with the platform: https://wordpress.com/support/courses/

Not helpful in pointing my new WordPress website to Network Solutions
My colleague created a new company website for me using Wordpress and I'm trying to point it to Network Solutions. I have a premium (paid) account with Wordpress and I've only gotten a bot to respond to the fact that this isn't working correctly. The bot told me to change the A records and gave me the values to use. It's been >72 hours and my new website is not showing up. I texted again and got a "Happiness Engineer". They don't seem to know what they're doing. They did get back to me numerous times, but after saddling me with a bot (after my paying for "premium" service), it wasn't until I told them I would be reporting on them at Trustpilot that I received multiple emails from "Sanjeev", who finally told me that I needed to add a CNAME record in addition to the A records. This took 4 days and me reviewing how to add a CNAME record (I was familiar with the other record types). Not changing my review despite the site finally working. Still very disappointed in the experience.

Hi there,
I can see you've been working on pointing your domain to Network Solutions and running into issues even after updating the A records. I know it's frustrating when things don't resolve as expected, especially after waiting over 72 hours.
To move this forward quickly, I need a bit more information from you. Could you share the domain name you're working with and the email address associated with your WordPress.com account? I've reached out to you to request that information, so please look for that TrustPilot request and respond to it - and we can move further along.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and thank you for your time.

My Honest Review: Why I Chose WordPress Over Every “Easy” Website Builder
The learning curve can be steep. I actually gave up three times before finally completing my own site. But once you get the hang of it, WordPress becomes unbeatable.
The best part is that almost every professional web developer uses it. Once you have your site set up, you can easily hand it off to a developer to refine or scale it without starting from scratch.
The pricing is fair, and no AI website builder comes close. WordPress consistently outperforms tools like Lovable, Wix, GoDaddy, Square, Hostinger, and GHL in both design flexibility and long-term reliability.
There is still something powerful about human creativity. Real artistic design and structure make a difference, and WordPress gives you that freedom to build something unique instead of another cookie-cutter template.
And the most important thing: WordPress absolutely nails mobile and desktop responsiveness.
Once you understand how to use rem and em units, your design will look flawless across devices. You do not have to choose between a site that looks great on desktop but terrible on mobile. With WordPress, both look right.

Hi Wes,
Thanks so much for this incredibly thoughtful and honest review! We really appreciate you sticking with WordPress through that learning curve—giving up three times before succeeding shows real determination, and we're glad you pushed through.
You've captured exactly what makes WordPress powerful: the professional developer ecosystem, the design flexibility and creative freedom, the fair pricing, and especially the mobile and desktop responsiveness. Your point about rem and em units shows you've really mastered the platform, and it's great to hear that WordPress gives you the tools to create something unique rather than another cookie-cutter template.
We love that you compared WordPress to so many other platforms and found it unbeatable. Your emphasis on human creativity and artistic design really resonates with what we believe in. Thanks for choosing WordPress and for sharing such a detailed perspective—it means a lot to us!

Flexibility unmatched and tutorial videos to learn
The getting started videos were very helpful, when I was getting started. All the tutorial and learning videos have been super helpful with so much information. It's definitely worth it, when I make myself take a few minutes to watch them, I learn at least a few new things. If I don't know something that I want to incorporate into a site or blog, I look it up in wp support or ask the chat people or the AI chat person lol. I've learned WordPress on my own and I enjoy it, because I'm a nerd. I've used Squarespace, Wix, Go Daddy, Strikingly, and some other. I prefer WordPress for many reasons. Writing code is so tedious and time consuming but sometimes necessary for certain customization features. Still trying to get used to the block editor and plugins. And the one thing that I wish would be better if I could upload good quality images without my site loading too slowly. The flexibility that WordPress offers is unmatched. They have a plan for everyone. I do miss Google domains, it was so simple. Google sites and Google domains we're great when I was learning, I appreciated the simplicity. Like Strikingly, it worked. I was very sad when they sold Google domains out, but, it forced me to learn WordPress and I'm definitely glad that I did. All is well. Thank you! WordPress is awesome.

Best tech support I have experienced since entering the computer business in 1968.
The tech support staff works 24/7. The chatbot took less than a minute to realize that my problem was WELL beyond its expertise and sent me to a happiness engineer. Claiming 24/7 service, and providing it with an LLM is a lie. WordPress is not lying. I used to think happiness engineer was preposterous, and now I think they should call themselves ecstasy engineers. Not to mention that the technology of the site was terrific--I know terrific when I see it--and aided in the quick solution of the problem. Yes, I use em dashes. No, I am not an AI. I know LLMs lie when asked, put if you go to the recently repaired psacot.com, ask yourself if any AI would say what I say about AI (and of course it isn't really AI, it is an LLM, roughly as smart as predictive text on your iPhone, but less accurate). In fact, I was worried the problem was AI taking its revenge on me, but it was actually a piece of HTML I incompetently inserted. Besides, LLM (not AI, LLM) is too incompetent to scrape my criticism, and wouldn't know what it to do with it, because it has no sense.

Free trial failed to create website with AI
I wanted to try to create a website using ai. Wordpress was advertizing that a free trial could be used to create a website and launch it. However, the system pulled example pics and posts to populate the website. It was not possible to edit it with new data. The ai box started covering what was already on the page, and it was impossible to minimize it. AI let me know that I needed to upgrade the account in order to replace the text and pictures- or launch the site. Therefore the trial was a failure on the first day. I highly recommend to use some other platform.

Hi Mia,
Thank you for your feedback, we're very sorry that the trial of our website builder did not meet your expectations. To help clarify, the free trial of our AI Website Builder allows users to generate a custom website template using example posts and images, similar to making your own theme demo.
Launching and editing the same website requires an upgrade, because many of the tools and custom features used in the builder are also included in active plans. However, you can still create a free website without the builder if you prefer, and then use the example site you've generated as a visual reference.
As a next step, we've reached out to you via Trustpilot to learn more about your request. Please feel free to respond with additional information, and we'll be happy to reach out and discuss available options to help improve your experience.

I'm exhausted with shady business practices. It should not take hours to try and cancel a domain. I eventually deleted it, despite being charged for another year a full month before the renewal was even required. I've paid for something I won't even receive for another two weeks. And yet it's too late to get a refund? Make it make sense.

Unreliable and unstable. Made for web-developers profitability
Wordpress is a nightmare for an ecommerce site webmaster. it's a constant drain on time and finances just to keep the latest update (and there are so many) from breaking the website. I've gradually learned the wordpress "customer" is web developers and the platform is designed to keep them in constant business fixing things that wordpress breaks. Avoid at all costs.
An example of a typical experience I get EVERY TIME i try to do anything on my wp ecommerce website: today i discover wordrpess and woo have removed my ability to add/remove product pictures or edit product SEO content.
"In WooCommerce 10+, Automattic replaced the long-standing classic product editor with their new block-based “product editing experience.”
That new interface is still incomplete — it doesn’t yet expose many essential controls site owners actually use every day, such as:
✅ Product gallery management (multiple images)
✅ Product meta boxes (for SEO, custom fields, shipping classes, etc.)
✅ Integration points for plugins like Elementor, Yoast, Rank Math, ACF, etc.
Those pieces simply don’t appear unless plugin developers have explicitly rebuilt their integrations for the block editor.
So yes — when WooCommerce silently switched everyone over, it effectively hid normal tools like “Product Image” and “Product Gallery.” That’s why it feels like those features just vanished."
That's just today's nonsense. Every time i try to do anything, it's a long process of navigating unnecessary changes and new bugs/conflicts. For the first couple years, I chalked it up to inexperience and lack of knowledge. I've come to realize that without being a full time developer, i'm never going to learn wordpress - it changes too quickly - anything you learn to do quickly becomes obsolete or broken. Even something so simple as leaving the website working as it currently is, without making changes, is unattainable.
Every task i did previously becomes a nightmare the next time i attempt to do the same routine thing. Also, behind-the-scenes updates result in the website breaking EVEN WITHOUT CHANGES.
Wordpress appears to constantly change, allowing web developers to sell flashy new websites to their customers. Like the planned obsolescence of car design. However, a few months down the road, the site will break, even if nothing is modified, required continued (and increasing) investment of time or money to simply keep the site working.
