  Hello, I haven’t been able to log into the blogs I have on wordpress.com since I made a username and email address change a couple of days ago. Can you help make it possible for me to log into them again? The addresses for these blogs are:

  http://askmilobluecat.wordpress.com

  http://letterstotheelephants.wordpress.com

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello!
  Couple options:
  1. Did WordPress send out a confirmation email? You may need to check your SPAM, Social, or Promotion tabs.
  2. Try logging in under your old account, it may have not saved.
  3. There is sometimes confusion between Display Name and User Name. Was the Display name, perhaps, by accident changed rather than the User Name?

  Change Your Username

  Thank you. Your suggestion #2 was the catalyst to solving my problem. What I did was, i tried to log in under my old account. WordPress wouldn’t let me do that, but it did give me the option to reset password. I tried that just to see what would happen, and ended up getting right in to where I wanted to be. Thank you for your help.
