  this might be long winded sorry in advance.
  I bought a domain name from 123reg and hosting from a local company then i started trying to make a site on word press. I got stressed out but did get something done. and its up there and i can visit my site. there isn’t much on there just 4 scrolling picture on the Sydney theme and Ive ranted some words on the headlines.

  now when i log in to word press to try and fix the site (as I’m applying for a design job this week so also stressed again) it doesn’t recognize my user name but does recognize my email but takes me to web site name with wordpress.com after the domain name and its not my site.
  I don’t know if this makes sense to you.

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

  Hi there,

  alittlestrugglingartist.co.uk is using the self-hosted version of WordPress, not WordPress.com. They have 2 different sets of login details.

  Please try logging-in at the link below with the username alittle23:

  https://www.alittlestrugglingartist.co.uk/wp-login.php

  If you’re unable to remember your password, please try resetting it at the link below. When resetting the password, please do not enter an email – enter the username alittle23:

  https://www.alittlestrugglingartist.co.uk/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If you still can’t log in, the password can be changed by editing the database or the site’s PHP files in the control panel of your hosting account by using one of the methods outlined at:

  https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password

  If you’re still unable to change the password, please contact your hosting provider for support.

  The forum you’ve posted this question in only provides support for sites hosted here at WordPress.com, not self-hosted WordPress sites.

  If you’d like to learn more about the differences between WordPress.com (the hosted service) and WordPress.org (the software), please see this guide:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
