  Hey Guys…
  I can’t get back into my site (www.1degreeadventures.com), which I built in wordpress about a year ago and haven’t used at all. I received an email from wordpress about renewing this domain for my account back in April, so I know the email address associated with the account. However, this email address doesn’t seem to be the username I used and I’ve tried every username I can think of.

  I’ve found the instructions for recovering a username, but they require one of 3 forms of authentication (transaction ID, Activation URL, or 2 factor authentication had to be already set up). I do not have any of those items, as this was all set up over a year ago. Any other ideas on how to figure out my username so I can actually log into my account?

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi there,

  I checked your site. It is not hosted on WordPress.com, your domain 1degreeadventures.com points to Bluehost. Based on this info, I assume you are WordPress.org user.

  This forum is dedicated to WordPress.com.
  To know more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, check this link : https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The account recovery method you are following is for WordPress.com accounts. As your site is hosted on Bluehost, I would suggest you to contact your host as only they can help you recover your account.

  Hope this helps!
