  i keep being redirected to https://en.gravatar.com/site/login after clicking the ‘Sign in with WordPress.com’ button (i am already logged into wordpress.com) but when i click that button, it shows the https://en.gravatar.com/connect/ url and then goes to https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1854&response_type=code&blog_id=0&state=9fa1a64ee… url and then jumps back to the login page https://en.gravatar.com/site/login without logging me in.

  see screenshot https://i.imgur.com/wIdzFE8.png

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

  Hi there!
  In theory you shouldn’t have to do anything bayond clicking the “Sign in” button at the top right, according to:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/wpcc-faq/

  but only after you follow the directions here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-applications/

  It took me a few tries before i got it too!

  Hi @mikulabc, @dave2swords’s advice is correct.

  I have also seen one or two cases where something was stuck in the browser, and clearing the cache or even using an incognito window helped.

  If you want to try the incognito method, open a window, log into WordPress.com, then open Gravatar in another tab and try authorizing the connection. If that still doesn’t work, let us know.
