sharing log in
-
I am trying to share my login information with someone who is going to help me – but it doesn’t work from her computer.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi ourfranciscanfiat,
For security purposes, I would suggest adding users to your site as editor rather than giving your login information.
Here is a link on user roles:

An Administrator has full power over the site and can do everything related to site administration* https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator Making this person and editor is a secure choice https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#editor.
The invitees will have to register a WordPress.COM username account which requires an email address only, but they do not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the blog.
If the person being invited to contribute to your blog does not already have one, he or she will have to register a WordPress.COM username account. He or she does not need to register a blog. There is a just a username please option. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here: https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
Upon receipt of the invitation, the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.
The invitees need to be logged into their WordPress.com account prior to clicking the “Accept Invitation” link.
Invitees who do create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

The other user is still having trouble logging in.
What is the link she should go to in order to log in?
(I have WordPress downloaded on my server because I have the webhosting. She is just working on site design,etc.
Thanks. -
Hi ourfranciscanfiat,
What is the name of the website that you uploaded on your server? It seems that you are using a WordPress.org site rather than a WordPress.com site. This is a forum for WordPress.com hosted site.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/You may try to put “/wp-admin/” at the end of your website name and try to login from there.
Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
