Unable to access my website for editing or writing new posts
-
Strangely enough, when I work on my Chromebook and try to edit my site, I don’t seem to be able to find access to it, even when I log in with the right data. My account settings show my original username, etc. and the date of 2018.
Yet, I can’t edit posts or write new posts. Is this due to working on my Chromebook? Normally, I work on my laptop, which is in the repair shop now.
Any advice or experience is welcome, thank you! -
Hi there,
What site are you trying to work on?
The WordPress.com account you’re using to post here was created in May 2018, but has never owned any sites hosted on our servers on WordPress.com.
If you have a WordPress site, it’s either under a different WordPress.com username account, or you’re using the open source WordPress software at another hosting provider.

Thank you, kokkieh, I expected such an inquiry, yes. The thing is, I’ve changed the name of my site from http://www.orandasite.wordpress.com to http://www.marianoranda.wordpress.com and the username I also used is marian baghor. I believe that’s the very first wordpress account.
I may have complicated matters in this way.
But what I haven’t mentioned yet, is that both account, username marian baghor or Devon Seamoor, don’t allow access to my site for editing or writing.
I should’ve made that clear in the first place, for I’ve got a hunch that something in that procedure of changing the name, there may be a stumbling block.
At the same time, which made me wonder if my Chromebook prevented me in some way (which isn’t a realistic thought I feel), on my laptop I find access to http://www.marianoranda.wordpress.com without a problem.
I’ll wait and see what can be done to solve this issue.
Thank you in advance, Marian. -
Hi there,
marianoranda.wordpress.com is owned by a different account than the one you’re currently logged in to. You’re able to manage it from your laptop because you’re logged in to that other account of yours.
You need to log out from @devonseamoor and log in as @baghor to be able to access the site.
If you cannot access that other account, please follow our Account Recovery guide:

Hello fstat, thank you, I understand what you mean, and it’s what I was aware of all of the time. I did log out from one of my accounts and tried to log in with the other account. Tried all possible ways. No success. But it’s not a big issue, see? This was all going on in my Chromebook, which is the spare device.
I’ve got my laptop back from the repair shop and all is fine now.
But I’ll remember both advises that I received, just in case my memory fails me 😉
Best wishes, Devon.
