    Hello. I logged into my account today and discovered that everything that I’ve entered into WordPress is gone. When I type in the URL, all the pages display, but when I go to the dashboard to edit (add posts), everything is gone. And it has changed my url from twistedwordpublishing to twistedword. Can someone tell me how this happened? I do not remember making any changes to my domain name.

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

    Note that there are two similar URLs:
    https://twistedword.wordpress.com/
    and
    https://twistedwordpublishing.wordpress.com/

    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.

    Hi. Thank you for your response. All of my posts were under the twistedwordpublshing domain. When I signed up I mistakenly used the twistedword name but immediately changed it and never published anything under that name. Now when I log in that is the name that shows in the address bar and the dashboard is empty. Hopefully this issue can be resolved, otherwise, I don’t know what to do.

    Hi there,

    The site at twistedwordpublishing.wordpress.com is owned by a different WordPress.com user, and isn’t linked to your username mzcatjo. You’ll need to log in to that other account to manage that site.

    If you have trouble logging in to that account, please follow the steps in our Account Recovery guide for help getting access to that site.
