  Hi I’m trying to log into a blog for an organization I’m following and something went haywire with the log in. I have an email of (redacted) and when I tried to use it to create an account, (still not sure why I needed to do that but that’s a question for another time) I was informed this was already in use. I had used WP in the past but for a different blog site. When I tried to log in using the password for that site I was told it’s not valid either. As a troubleshooting step I attempted to use another email address I had for the other blog and now I have no way to access the blog site I signed up for today. Any suggestions ?

  What is the URL of the site you’re trying to log into?

  Liberty state at https://libertystate.org but it’s supposed to be a blog site if I understood it right.

  Thanks for that information. So, libertystate.org is registered through Enom and looks to be hosted with HostSites4U.com.

  This indicates that your site is actually running the open source WordPress installation – It’s not using our managed environment from WordPress.com.

  Contact your hosting provider and/or visit the community forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ for assistance. We do not have any access to the site.

  My apologies for being so far behind the curve here but I don’t use these systems very often. I did have a WP account a few years ago under JPresN7 if that helps any but when I tried to use that log in it gave me the same answer :/

  That site is not hosted by WordPress.com, so we have no control over its operation, and your WordPress.com account won’t work to log you in there.

  In this case, you’ll need to contact the folks behind the site: https://libertystate.org/contact/

  Thank you :) So how do I resolve the multiple WP accounts ?

  There are two types of WordPress essentially, WordPress.com where you are now, and WordPress.org the software.

  WordPress.org the software allows folks to run a self-contained WordPress site on their own hosting provider, which is what https://libertystate.org/ is doing.

  In this case, you’ll have two separate accounts, as WordPress.com and https://libertystate.org/ are two separate things.

  Okay, I have to go but I can assume that any accounts with no action will expire and be removed by your system after a certain amount of time. Thank you for the help and sorry for the trouble :/
