If you let your domain expire, there is no guarantee it will be released back into the pool of available domain names for re-registration. You have up to 18 days of "grace period" in which you can renew your domain at the regular price. It might eventually re-enter the pool of domain names for re-registration, but there's no guarantee, as it could be first sold so someone who's back-ordered the domain.

If you want to keep the domain but not your site, you could set your site to private under Settings > Reading. That way, you'd still be able to log into your administration area to manage your domain, but the site would be hidden from people and search engines.

Please let me know if I can be of further help.

Thank You.

Just as a suggestion, it would make things 100 times easier if you just had a straightforward Delete button for everything instead of having things so complicated.

It is perfectly normal that you see your info in the contact form while you are logged in. Your visitors won't see it. See here please:

We would like these fields to remain blank, so that someone filling them in, does not have to go to the trouble of deleting what's already in them

Thanks!

Truthwhispers; originally the hosting was paid for with a company called Register365, and then we had to domain map with WordPress-- so does this mean that the site is hosted with wordpress then, and not 365?

Airodyssey; does that mean that any Windows computer (public such as at a library, or private), that is not configured to use Outlook Express, will not be able to use that mailto link?
Is the "email server not correctly installed" refererring to Outlook Express?

Thank you!

As a workaround of course, your friend can use the feedback form you already have on your website.

If the site is using wordpress.com's Post by Email service by default, and I and need not configure anything else, do you understand why, when the lady clicks on email links on pages of the site on her own computer, she gets the following message: "Server not correctly installed"; and when she clicks on email links on a public computer, she is asked for e-mail server names.

I still don't understand.

Thanks so much

It looks like the website (link is missing) is hosted on a self-installed WordPress.org package. I think you should check out the WordPress.org forums for help:

http://wordpress.org/support/

If it is a domain mapping with the websiite hosted at wordpress.com, may I inform you that you will continue to use wordpress.com's Post by Email service and need not configure anything else.

If you're issue is regarding custom Email. That is not a WordPress issue. WordPress is basically a Content Management System, not an Email client.

If Im still unclear, please mention the website and the link you're talking about.

Can anyone shed light on this? What do I need to configure? and on which side-wordpress or on the hosting company's side? or both?

Any help much appreciated or referrals to tutorials/info pages.

Thank you, Caroline. Please can you email the response to [email redacted]

This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.
