  Why is WordPress still saying that I don’t have a WordPress site? I am on the site now (with the Hello world..Just another WordPress site page) and trying to configure the page but there is no dashboard since WordPress thinks there is no site.

  Not sure how to move on from this point. Please help!

  Because you’ve logged in to WordPress.com account, that’s the reason it showed you don’t have the site.

  The address is lethamusic.com.

  This site is self-hosted WordPress site and hosted by Dreamhost which uses WordPress.org open source software.

  In order to understand the difference between
  WordPress.com Vs WordPress.org please visit:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  And in order to login to your self-hosted site, you just need to type “WP-admin” at the end of the website URL, now please visit:
  lethamusic.com/wp-admin
  And then login with your credentials.

  For further assistance relating to the self-hosted site please seek help at WordPress.org Forums.

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks!

  Thank you so much for your help! One more question:

  When adding plugins, akismet for exp, I am immediately sent to WordPress.com to complete my signup. Since I’m not a wordpress.com member, how do I get this and other plugins added on without being forwarded to wordpress.com?

  Hi there,

  When adding plugins, akismet for exp, I am immediately sent to WordPress.com to complete my signup.

  Akismet, Jetpack and more other products from the same company which requires you to login with your WordPress.com account.

  Since I’m not a wordpress.com member, how do I get this and other plugins added on without being forwarded to wordpress.com?
  It is not required to create site with WordPress.com to use this Plugins but you’ll just need to have account with WordPress.com to set it up.

  Thanks!
  Have a great day!
