Invalid username

    Good afternoon, I’ve been trying to log in my sites dashboard but it keeps saying I have an invalid username even though it’s correct. How do I fix this? Thank you

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

    Hi there,

    When I do a whois.com lookup on news.triumphpest.com, it shows this site is hosted by FastDomain.

    DOMAIN INFORMATION
    Domain:triumphpest.com
    Registrar:FastDomain, Inc.
    Registration Date:2012-10-13
    Expiration Date:2017-10-13

    ns2.justhost.com

    These forums are for WordPress.com sites and it looks like your site is self-hosted using the WordPress.org software.

    You can find out more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Support for WordPress.org can be found here:

    Hope that helps!

    Hi triumphpestcontrol,

    I’ve been trying to log in my sites dashboard but it keeps saying I have an invalid username even though it’s correct.

    news.triumphpest.com will have a separate username and password — it won’t be possible to login to that site directly using your WordPress.com details.

    If you are unable to login using the username or email address associated with that site, I’d recommend contacting your hosting provider (Just Host) for help. They should be able to advise you about the next steps.

    Best of luck!
