  Hi. Does my wordpress.com username work on wordpress.org? Or do I have to start a whole new account to comment on wordpress.org blogs?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I didn’t add that last comment, obviously. I don’t need help with a particular blog.

  No to the first question and yes to the second one.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Thanks a lot!

  (I’m surprised this doesn’t seem to be one of the FAQs on either site)
