Unauthorized Admin

  • Unknown's avatar

    I was hoping to get help on my WordPress account as I had someone get access to my account to help with the move from Wix to WordPress but ended having the person change my login and password as well as admin name. I would like to remove this from my account as I no longer am dealing with the person and decided to remove his access. Yet his Admin login name is still present and I can’t change it. Please help.

  • Hello –

    Looking at that site I can see it’s hosted on Hostgator. It’s not using our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com.

    For help, I would contact them first. Otherwise, there’s a volunteer network available for folks who run their own WordPress installations, which is how you’re set up. That is available at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Additionally, this page might be useful: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/reset-your-password/

    On WordPress.com our team offers a managed hosting environment. This means that we handle all the back end details of the site. Things like back ups, updates, security, spam, seo, ssl, mobile optimization, top notch hosting specs, and sorting out any errors or bugs that pop up along the way. When you run a stand alone WordPress installation, like what y’all have set up, then all of those details fall on to you – so instead of being able to focus on content you spend a ton of time and frustration fixing these sort of issues.

    All of our hosting plans are available on https://wordpress.com/pricing/ If you think a managed environment is a better setup for the project and your experience level then we can talk more about how to move your site over and what’s involved with that process.
