  I signed up for hosting with hostgator and installed wordpress. I then installed Starter Templates plugin and began editing with Elementor. Today, I am trying to log back into wordpress admin to edit my website, but I am taken to a different site altogether. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Looks like you’ve created a WordPress.com site (lightwrkrbee.wordpress.com) which is different from the one you have hosted on Hostgator.

  To access your site add /wp-admin/ at the end of its URL (e.g. https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/).

  Thank you fstat,

  I was not trying to access lightwrkrbee.wordpress.com – I am not sure why it states that in my original post.

  I am trying to access http://www.lightwrkrbee.com, but when I type that in followed by /wp-admin/ I am brought to this page:

  http://www.lightwrkrbee.com/wp-admin/

  I hope that link worked. It is a completely different page altogether. What am I doing wrong?

  If you don’t remember the login credentials for that site, you need to follow these instructions to recover them:

  If this doesn’t work, then you need to contact Hostgator which is your hosting provider.

  Please note that the forum you have posted is for the WordPress.com hosting platform, which is different than the WordPress software that your site is using. You can learn more about these differences here:
