  When I log in to the wp-admin on https://oldercitizens.wordpress.com/ I get :

  User oldercitizenblogs Cannot Access the Dashboard Requested

  You are logged in as “oldercitizenblogs” and do not have the necessary privileges to access the dashboard for “WordPress.com Example Blog”. If you are not “oldercitizenblogs”, please log out, and log back in with your username. If you are “oldercitizenblogs” and you need access, please ask an administrator of the site to invite you.

  When I go to MySite I get

  You don’t have any WordPress sites yet.
  I have more than 20.

  Tried clearing browser cache no difference. Tried in Edge, Firfox, and Tor.

  Whats wrong?

  Any luck on this? I’m having a similar/same issue, and it looks like people are just shit out of luck based on the forum history and non-response from WP admins… yet another reason WordPress is falling behind….

  I’m having the exact same issue and no one is responding to me.

  Thought I’d try out wordpress, but if this is how it’s gonna be…confusing, buggy, and with no help in site…I’m out of here. Bugs me that my site has to stay up with all its content when I don’t have access to it, but I don’t see any other way around it.

  Hi there,

  @oldercitizenblogs

  You are not an admin on the site, https://oldercitizens.wordpress.com/. That site has only one admin, over60sblogclub, and only that user is able to access the dashboard. If you own that account as well, please log in as that username and you’ll be able to access the dashboard.

  @ellevan and @ronnesque

  Which sites are you trying to access? It’s impossible to help you if you don’t provide information on the site you need help with.

  You should be able to access the WP-Admin dashboard of any site on which you’ve been added as a contributor by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of that site’s URL.

  As for the lack of reply, sorry about that, but this is a peer support forum and staff only reply to threads which a forum volunteer has marked for our attention. This thread has never been tagged for us prior to today.

  @oldercitizenblogs

  You are not an admin on that site. You own the site, oldercitizenblogs.wordpress.com, but oldercitizens.wordpress.com belongs to another user, as I said above.
