Cannot access my own blog as administrator

  • Unknown's avatar

    When I tried to log in to the Admin page of my blog today (for the first time in months, as the blog is not active at present), I got a message saying that my email address is not recognized as an administrator. I suppose this is due to having changed said address well over a year ago. But I don’t use any other account now and have long since closed the one that the blog was likely tied to, so am not sure what to do next to get back into my own blog. Thanks for your help!

  • Hi there,

    Can you please let me know your site’s address so I can point you in the right direction of getting support?

    Yes, it’s https://lmwinborne.wordpress.com/. I’m kind of baffled right now, as two nights ago I got on the admin page without even logging in or using a password – and I honestly don’t know how, since I haven’t been able to do that again. I’ve also changed my password three times, and though each time I received a reply that the change was successful and I should log in, none of the new passwords were recognized.

    Is there a way to connect my newer, current email address with the site?

    Thanks again for your assistance.
