  I created the page https://hardingrepublican.wordpress.com/ with username techlinuxmint in 2015, and it has lay idle since.

  I wanted to update it but I didn’t see it in at https://techlinuxmint.wordpress.com/

  Attempting to access https://hardingrepublican.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ I’m getting the error:

  User techlinuxmint Cannot Access the Dashboard Requested

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

  I cleared my cache, deleted cookies and re-logged in again with the email address I originally created the site with. Same error. I added my gmail address as an admin with the same result.

  Can you give me some add’l guidance? Thx.

  Hi there,

  The site hardingrepublican.wordpress.com is owned by a different account than the one you’re currently logged in to (@techlinuxmint). To be able to manage that site you need to log in to that other account of yours.

  If you cannot access that other account, please follow our Account Recovery guide:

  Thanks, that would explain it. I’ll try some of my old email addresses.
