  I have been very active and created several WP.com blogs. One of them I can’t get back into — no ‘admin’ link on front page – what can I do? Also, I’d like to collect all of my account names in one place so I can switch from one of my blogs to another – how can I do that? Thanks, EleanorB

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

  Correction to above. The blog I need help with is NOT nyrfredux — the system added that without my knowledge!

  This is the URL https://lgbttolongtermcare.wordpress.com/
  This is the Admin login link https://lgbttolongtermcare.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If the log-in information is lost visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If you are not successful, then please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  Also, I’d like to collect all of my account names in one place so I can switch from one of my blogs to another – how can I do that?

  The email address registered with your WordPress.com username account is your unique identifier. Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and their associated email address.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/

  The blog’s owner must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them, or to transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account, or to use the lost password link, or the account recovery form, or to delete site content, or to delete the site itself.

  You must log out and clear your browser cache and cookies before logging in under another username account.
