  Hi, I’m trying to create a website (which I have successfully done in the past) but there is no WP admin I can click on to access my dashboard.
  The left-hand side menu stops at Settings.
  Can you help please?

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

  Hi there,

  Please kindly access https://preparingtogivedeliveryforthefirsttime.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ and log in with your WordPress account.

  The link above leads you to the WP-admin.

  Thanks :)

  Thanks hacchism.

  I followed the link and accessed my dashboard (finally) however if I move away from it I can’t get back to it :-(

  The grey menu on the left-hand side (which is how I access WP admin normally) still stops at Settings.

  Is there a bug? Anything else I can do? Thanks

  It’s not a bug. New sites no longer show the wp-admin link in the taskbar. You’ll need to bookmark the link @hacchism gave you in your browser for future reference.

  Thanks.

  Sorry to tease answers out of you but having a bookmarked link doesn’t seem user friendly to me.

  Should I have some other software installed to help?
  Do people really use their bookmark to access their dashboard? ie What do tech wizards do? Can I do the same?

  Clicking that link in my browser is only one click and that is how I log into WordPress.com and then I’m there in the wp-admin dashboard for as long as I’m working on my site.

  Hi again!

  As @themagicrobot mentioned, that’s the only way to make accessing WP-admin easier.

  Thank you both very much for your help.
  I feel much better about myself now :-) and I can access my dashboard!
