Dashboard locked up.
-
My dashboard is locked. I cannot access my Leasespeak.com/blog dashboard. My two other dashboards are accessible. Yesterday, I accessed the dashboard and found I had 6 plug-in updates. I downloaded all of them.

The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/
The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.

My site is hosted at wordpress.com. I accessed it yesterday using leasespeak.com/blog/wp-admin and then entered my access code. Here is the address I receive my weekly database back ups from WordPress [(email visible only to moderators and staff)]. I get them every Tuesday.

Your are hosted on Godaddy
No Domain Mapping Found
There is no domain mapping upgrade for leasespeak.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.
If you were hosted on WordPress.COM there would be domain mapping
You are using WordPress.ORG 3.8.1
You might be using Vault Press ( an Autommattic company that is related to WordPress.COM ) – but that is not related to your hosting
-
http://leasespeak.com/blog/wp-login.php – is for sure not a log-in for a WordPress.COM blog

Thanks auxclass for the help.
I am just a rookie at all this.
I just thought the wp-login meant that wp stood for wordpress.com and word press was related to my site. The WordPress logo is on my blog dashboard.
You’re right, It’s a wordpress blog version 3.8.1. My website is hosted at godaddy. And the wordpress blog operates inside my website and maybe it’s through wordpress.org. Then if this happens again, who do I call, GoDaddy? or WordPress.org?And now at 1:30pm CST, for some reason, my dashboard is accessible but was not for the 2-3 hours this morning. For several years, I have been getting user registrations that are spam type from laposte.net users. I delete them and new ones come back. Could they have caused this problem?

The spam comments should not have bothered your blog – for protection do you have Akismet activated?
it sounds like you might have a plug-in problem – the folks over at WordPress.ORG, the keepers of your software can help you address those issues – probably deactivating the problem Plug-in’s will be a start and that can be done without getting into your Dashboard
The log-in look is an issue and .ORG & .COM log-in’s look almost the same – your address for your blog is also not a legal address for a blog hosted on WordPress.COM
Please review this:

Then make friends over at WordPress.ORG – great folks over there
You be welcome & good luck

Thank you for your kind and gentle comments. I work alone and was stressing a lot this AM. Like—NOW WHAT else could happen?
I think plug-in updates was the issue yesterday that stared the whole mess.Hope wordpress.org is as nice as you were.

They are good folks over at .ORG – I used to help there until I moved my web site to WordPress.COM
Like any other help forum, keep in mind that most of the people helping do not get paid for helping you. Almost all of them really try but sometimes advice is not the best – but someone else will come along and get the help back on track.
Sometimes you will need to wait a while until someone drops by that has the skill to help – remain calm :)
good luck with your site

Why did you decide to use wordpress.com for your hosting site? I’m working with a friend on a new wordpress.com site this week. Usually host at GoDaddy. Why switch?

Hi there,
Here’s my answer to the question you posed to auxclass > 7 Reasons Why I Like WordPress.com Hosting -
@TT’s Post is a good one –
Me personally
More storage space and bandwidth – but at the time I was not at the space limits
My old site would max out at about 5 visitors on at the same time, so I would have needed to do some upgrade as traffic has increased
Save a bit of money – I kept my email at my old host so I pay for that – add the domain mapping & no ads upgrade and still less money (but the money was not the driving issue)
Technical issues with my old host and uploading files – there was a problem uploading files using the WordPress program and file permissions – was never able to resolve that even working with their senior tech.
I got out of the upgrade software job – now you have the “one button” upgrade – back them I had to FTP something like 1,500 files up and make sure they went in the proper directory – BUT there were about 3 file that could not be overwritten without killing the blog dead
I did miss my old theme – had a cool image of a printers paper hat floating in water – but I now have a sunset from my marina – the sunset image is now used on the business card for my web site (just title of the site and URL – no personal info) – so I now have cool branding (yes that would work with a .ORG theme also)
No more website admin duties – if something breaks it’s the staff’s problem not mine
I was not selling ads on my old site so did not miss that ability when I moved here and I still don’t have the traffic to make ads worth the hassle
The extra Widgets make up for no Plugin’s so I don’t have any base functionality that I can’t do – would I like a Plugin once in a while – probably – doing tables here is tough for me but I got some great help from a couple of the helpers in the forum so I now have a template for a table that I reuse when needed
Once in a while I would like to use some iframe code which is not allowed –
Hope that helps a bit

Many thanks again. Will have to read the .com vs .org article again. Slowly and when I’m ore awake. I still get confused.
-
You be welcome & good luck
yes the .COM & .ORG can be a bit confusing, they are often used interchangeably and the log-in and Dashboard look almost the same – that is because they are using the same basic software
