  When I try to edit my posts I get “An error occurred while loading this post.
  User cannot edit post” But I am the administrtator of the site!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  Please try logging out of your blog. Log back in and then check whether post editing works.

  Btw, could you tell me how you accessed the ‘Edit posts’ page? If you did not try this way, could try logging in to your dashboard using the link <yourdomain.wordpress.com>/wp-admin . After logging in with your credentials, choose ‘All posts’ under posts. Now, try editing your posts. It should work. :)

  – Hari.

  Exactly which username account registered http://sanjuandelsursistercityproject.wordpress.com/

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account. The recommendation is to have one and only one Administrator. https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If the log-in information is lost visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If you are not successful, then please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  That’s nice but there is no need for Shouting! Best wishes with your blog.
