Managing Multiple Accounts
-
I’m at my wit’s end trying to manage multiple accounts. I used to have all of my blogs in one account, but that did not allow for keeping each site’s identity unique.
Comments and likes were always posted under the Gravatar of the primary blog. I’ve got a photo blog, poetry blog, opinion blog — and I wanted to keep those blogs separate.
If I comment as the photo blog I don’t want the Gravatar for the opinion blog to display so I opened several accounts and transferred the blogs.
Now, when I try to login to one account I get a popup that says I have to log out of the other account. One moderator told me to clear the browser’s cache and cookies, but I use different browsers for each blog and still this happens.
I’ll be liking other people’s blogs using one account, but if I try to leave a comment I get a popup that says I have to login to my account. I’ve been logged in for an hour liking various posts and then prompted to login again to leave a comment?
None of this makes any sense. What is the solution?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there, it does sound like a bad cookie somewhere so the advice to clear cache and cookies is still valid even if you are using separate browsers for each account.
Try logging out of WordPressdotcom entirely, clearing your browser cache and cookies (which also logs you out of any other website you are currently logged in on), shutting down your browser and maybe even restarting your computer.
And although there shouldn’t be any connection between them, try being logged in with only one account at a time regardless of browser and logging out between them and see if that makes any different.
Let us know how that goes.

I’ve tried a number of things, but ideally I’d like to have all of my blogs in one account. So when I’m logged in I can like or comment with the appropriate Gravatar — each blog maintaining its unique profile and identity.
One of the moderators suggested that I use Firefox which has a partition feature that allows you to open four windows each with their own cache and history, but that’s essentially what I’ve been doing using Chrome, Opera and Edge.
Anyway, trying to manage multiple accounts, usernames and passwords has been exhausting.

Hello again,
but ideally I’d like to have all of my blogs in one account. So when I’m logged in I can like or comment with the appropriate Gravatar — each blog maintaining its unique profile and identity.
If you want to keep the sites entirely separate, with different Gravatars, they can’t be under the same username account because your account uses your unique email address to identify you and you can only set one site as your primary site under your account settings.
FWIW-I’ve had multiple accounts since I started here on WordPressdotcom and log in separately to each account either after logging out of the previous account or by opening a private browsing window. Until now I’ve not encountered the type of issue you’ve described here. So again, I can only repeat my earlier suggestion to clear your browser cache and cookies and try to be logged in with only one account at a time.
Perhaps another volunteer can suggest something else.
