    I can’t publish a post, because it is saying “In order to publish posts, please verify your email address by clicking the link in the confirmation email that we sent” when I went to try to confirm it the page I was redirected to it says “Invalid activation key.” Now I am not able to post on my blog.

    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    EJ

    may I ask,
    1. Where are you trying to publish from when you get the message ..
    “in order to publish posts…”
    Are you posting from the editor page? (where you wrote the post)?

    2. are you sharing the account with someone else who maybe the administrator?

    Yes, it was the editor’s page…it allows me to save the draft, but not publish it until I confirm the email address.

    No, I’m the only admin.

    Thanks again for the help!

    Hi there,

    Sorry for the trouble! I just sent you an email to help sort this out. You can reply directly to that email, or let me know here if you don’t get that email from me. :)
