  Hello. I have given a role of ‘Author’ on my website. However, when the person assigned to this role logs into WordPress it directs them to the website not the dashboard to make changes. How do I do this?

  Hi there,

  Could you please share the link to the site you’re having trouble with?

  Just to let you know this is a public forum for sites hosted on WordPress.com.

  If the site you are using is an open-source (WordPress.org) with a different host, you can refer to the correct forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the open-source WordPress.org software you can read this article:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Thanks!

  Hello,

  Thanks for the information. It looks like I have a self-hosted version as I have GoDaddy as the host.

  my website link is: plantingseedstutoring.com

  Hello,

  Yeah, you’ll be able to get assistance at the WordPress.org Support Forums then.

  Good luck! :)
