Yesterday I purchased the domain name embracingrace.com and even paid for the $8 security. I clicked on the activation emails, and have even been working in the dashboard getting the site up and running. But every time I try to view the site, I get an invalid key message. What is going on?? I’m nervous since I used my credit card…but it said it all went through fine. I just can’t view my site…can’t preview themes or anything. HELP

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

Do you use Hughes Satellite for your ISP?

I don’t know what that means…..I’ve been using Blogger for years, so I’m new to WP

I just clicked on your link and got the exact same message, so maybe it’s not to do with my purchase…

I have seen mention of problems with Internet service that is provided by Hughes Satellite and mapped domains at WordPress.COM – I think it is some sort of cache issue that Hughes can turn off to make things work – but sorry I can’t remember any more than this.

I will flag this for the staff’s attention as we have seen the problem in the past and it was able to be resolved.

I am having the same problem with my new domain (www.makeitpretty.me). I am not a hughes net user. I use AT&T and am also getting same error at work from a totally different computer.

I also get the same invalid key message when going to embracingrace.com. Very strange indeed!

Also, I only get the message when I am logged in to my wordpress admin page. If I log out i can view makeitpretty.me and embracinggrace.com.

Glad I’m not the only one….but sorry you are having the same trouble!
I’m just taking the time to get my site ready to publish…maybe by the time I’m finished WP will have the problem solved. I”m not with Hughes either…in Canada, so I didn’t even know what that was.

Can you check to see if you have both first and third-party cookies enabled?

Third party cookies are enabled in my settings. I didn’t see anything about first party cookies.

Can you please take a screenshot of what you see and upload it via Media -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard so we can take a look?

How do you take a screen shot- with a camera?

It is just a blank white screen, but up in the left corner it says “Invalid Key {6} Blank” The ‘blank’ part is a link, but when you click on it, it only takes you right back to the blank page with the same message.

And you see that when you go to http://embracingrace.com/ ?

And you don’t use HughesNet as your ISP? If so, who is your ISP?

Macmanx, you are probably referring to embracingrace but yes, as soon as i log in to my admin page i get the invalid message for both my page and embracinggrace. i have uploaded a word doc called invalid key shot.doc to my media library for you to take a look. notice how the URL says something about remote log in… not sure if that is relevant.

and yes, i have 1st and 3rd cookies enabled in firefox. i have tried IE, chrome also. all have same problem. Could it have anything to do with the fact that we also have another wordpress blog site that has a seperate login?

makeitprettyme, and your ISP is definitely AT&T? They aren’t sub-leasing out to another ISP, like HughesNet?
