  Hi. I’m having trouble linking my site that I am hosting on site ground to my WordPress account.

  I want to use (email visible only to moderators and staff) as my WordPress login and have http://www.oceanparknews.com as my primary site.

  Hi, @gimjon
  Your site is not hosted here, on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another hosting provider (Siteground).

  For general help with the version of WordPress you’re using, you can ask the WordPress.org community over at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  The other option: you can ask the support of your hosting,

  You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:

  Cheers.

  Hi there,

  I can see https://www.oceanparknews.com/ linked to your account via Jetpack, and it’s set as your primary site under account settings. Did you manage to figure this out?

  Note that your WordPress.com account and the admin user account for that site are two completely different things, but if you enable Jetpack’s secure sign-on feature under My Site ->Manage ->Settings ->Security, you’ll be able to log into the WP-Admin dashboard on that site via your WordPress.com account.

  Hi, @galois and @kokkieh.

  Thank you both for clarifying

  Yes, enabling jetpack on my siteground hosted WordPress site fixed it. I am now able to use the mobile WordPress app to access my site contents (uploading media files on my iPad).

  Cheers!!!
