  Hello
  I logged into my dashboard and it appears as if it was not self hosted. It is self-hosted and I don’t know why or how this has happened. Could somebody please help me? I have noticed because I can’t upload a theme or install it.
  Thank you

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

  Are you sure that you have logged into your own WordPress install and not just WordPress.com? As you are able to post here, you clearly have a WordPress.com account. And the dashboard here would not show any theme or plugin uploading options.

  Your own WordPress login URL would likely be something like mysite.com/blog/wp-admin/login.php

  Let me know.

  Hello
  Thanks for the reply, I am logged in into my site like this
  http://guineubindery.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
  I do it through wordpress.com (logging in) then select my blogs, then go to admin.
  I always used to display well and then yesterday when I logged in it was crazy. It says I have responsive theme (i have versatile) and when I try to post, it does not appear in my blog…it is a bit bizarre. My host page is well set, I checked it yesterday. It looks as if wordpress has disconnected from the page….but without realising it.
  Any tips?

  Arrrrggghh!

  My apologies. COMPLETELY disregard that previous reply. My hands were working faster than my brain and I posted to the wrong open tab.

  So here is the location to log into your site:

  http://guineubindery.com/wp-login.php

  You MUST log into your self-hosted site there. Now, if you are logged in and you have clicked “remember me” when logging in (or you have not closed your browser) and you take the steps you told me earlier, it will appear that you are clicking on a blog in “my blogs” and being sent to your current site. But what is really happening is that you are going to http://guineubindery.wordpress.com/ and then being redirected to your current site http://guineubindery.com because you have that domain registered through us but have set the nameservers to point to your self-hosting webhost.

  I know that is probably confusing. So the short version is, you need to log into your self-hosted site here:

  http://guineubindery.com/wp-login.php

  You cannot be logged out of your self hosted site and log into it via WordPress.com.

  Does that make sense? Or have I just confused things?
