WordPress and Site.pro are completely different website builder systems. And migrating a website from one platform to another is very difficult in most cases. So if you are going to switch from Site.pro to WordPress, please be prepared to rebuild your site from scratch. If you are going to switch site platforms on the same account and domain, you may want to make sure the old website is fully removed before setting up a new one. Something like this: > [@Reset or reload an account to start fresh](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/reset-or-reload-an-account-to-start-fresh/49221): > > Sometimes, you may want to clean up your account completely and start from scratch with a clean slate, for example if you need to install a fresh script and want to remove all traces of the old code. Some web hosting platforms offer an Account Reset or Reload Account option to clean the account completely. InfinityFree doesn’t have an option like that. But you can clean your account yourself. Clean the account manually One method to clean an account is to remove all content manually. To clean … That said, from what I could find on the web regarding that error message, as far as I can tell it’s “something” WordPress related. It would help a lot if we could check your site for problems. Could you please share the URL to your site so we can check it? ---

Hey, thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I actually just removed Word Press then reloaded it, removed site pro as a Web builder option, and that seems to have worked. Now I’ve got to figure how to build with word press! ---
