Created new account when I had a preexisting one

  I created my first WP blog about eight years ago. I’ve decided to now start a new blog and move the majority of the content over.

  Problem is: the new account appears to be attached to the old one. I can’t just log in to the new one, the login screen says the new name doesn’t exist. I’ve double-checked spacing, spelling etc – just doesn’t work.

  I have to log into the old account, switch sites and proceed on from there, and then it says new posts are made under the old account but still displaying on the new one. Eventually I want to fully delete the old account but now I’m worried it’ll take the new one with it.

  Hi, can you clarify what the other account is, and which site seems to be attached to it? We’d be happy to take a look and help you get things untangled.

  This may help too:
