    Hi all,
    Wordpress doesn’t recognize my account or my email address anymore. My account is paid up, so that isn’t a problem. The problem is that I went into the administration part of the site and monkeyed around with something. Now I can’t log in and can’t get a new password to log in. I’m not even sure I remember my username correctly. I tried contacting wd and sent in the form for the user name and password clarification, I even sent in my API Key #, but wd doesn’t recognize my account. Does anyone know what I should do?
    Thanks loads.
    Glenna J.

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

    The blog you specified at http://www.glennamjenkins.com does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.

    This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

    If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

    If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

    This is an automated message.

    Support for your website is provided on the WordPress.ORG support forums and they are here http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.org, click that link and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the correct support forums for your software.

    I think I disconnected it somehow. I have no idea what happened. My site is hosted by Dreamhost and http://www.glennamjenkins.com is definitely a wordPress site.

    If my URL is http://www.glennamjenkins.com, then I should have a wordpress.com account.

    Your site IS a WordPress site, but it is a WordPress.ORG site, so we cannot help you here. As TT said, you need to be at http://wordpress.org/support/

    OK, so I went to the wordpress.org site and no dice. My site is hosted by Dreamhost, but the powers that be at the .org site tell me I must be self-hosted because they don’t recognize me. This is what I see when I try to login: http://www.glennamjenkins.com/wordpress/wp-login. WordPress doesn’t recognize my emial address for some reason. Can someone please tell me what to do.
    Thanks
    Glenna
