  Hello,

  I recently registered a new domain with DreamHost and used a One-Click Install of wordpress on it. When I try to add the site here it asks me for the username and password, but then it tells me that the username and password are incorrect. I appreciate your help with this error.
  Thanks,
  Olgi

  Hi there,

  As you mentioned you’ve purchased a domain from DreamHost and your site uses WordPress(.org). You are getting the incorrect credentials error as you were trying to log into a WordPress.com account that doesn’t exist. The username and password are of different account.
  If you’d like to know more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, check the page linked below: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Also, this forum is only dedicated to WordPress.com sites. So, in future for WordPress related issues, try seeking help here:

  Hope this helps!
