Welcome back to the WordPress.com changelog! This round is about giving you more control over your site, whether you’re moving in, building out, or handing the busywork to your AI.
We’ll move your Wix, Squarespace, or AI-built site to WordPress.com
Moving to WordPress.com just got a lot easier. If you own a site on Wix, Squarespace, another AI provider or WordPress host, you can just paste your site’s address into wordpress.com/move, pick a plan that suits your needs, and we move it for you.
The move runs in the background, and you get an email when it’s done. If a move doesn’t work, our team moves your site for free, or you get your money back.
SSH, WP-CLI, and GitHub Deployments now come with Personal and Premium plans
The developer tools you rely on are no longer just for Business plans and above. On any paid plan, you can now connect over SSH or SFTP, run WP-CLI and Git commands, and deploy from GitHub. If a plugin breaks your site, you can fix it yourself instead of waiting on support.
If you’ve connected an AI like ChatGPT or Claude to your WordPress.com site, it can now help you with more of the behind the scenes work on your site. Your AI now has access to more abilities like:
Domains and email
Update your domain’s contact details and privacy settings
Set up domain and email forwarding
View your site’s SSL settings and update DNSSEC
Site management
Change your site address
Start a site ownership transfer
Delete or reset a site
Import content from an export file
View and change a site’s PHP and WordPress versions
Read a site’s server logs
Developer tools
List the SSH keys on your account
Deploy GitHub repositories to your sites
Migrate an existing WordPress site to WordPress.com
Your SEO settings now live together under Jetpack → SEO on Premium, Business, and Commerce plans. Set your site and author identity, spot missing SEO details, and choose which AI crawlers can access your site from the new GEO tab. You can also generate an llms.txt file for AI tools.
