    Hello! I have user id/password which is allowing me to post and to see stats but when I’m going to add a widget it’s asking for user id/password and the ones I’m using don’t work. Is this a different set of id/password? If so – I’m not sure which one it is?

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

    savebatemanhs.com is a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting, hosted by BlueHost
    IP Address: 66.147.244.214
    Name Servers:
    ns2.bluehost.com
    ns1.bluehost.com

    That site is not on WordPress.COM servers and you cannot get support for it here. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, passwords support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.

    The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

    This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

    Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

    Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

    Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
    http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

    However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

    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/

    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
    See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

    Hi there! As far as I can see, your website is hosted with BlueHost so it’s a self-hosted WordPress installation and not a WordPress.com account. Regarding the issue you encountered, you should check if your user has all privileges to add widgets and is not just a user that have permissions to add posts.

    Please note that the WordPress.org forums are here: https://wordpress.org/support/

    If all this it’s confusing, here is a little explanation regarding the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
