WP will not allow me to login
-
Ongoing issue. Chatted with rep on 10/25 for 1 1/2 hours. Still couldn’t log in after password resets or after her suggestions (use another browser). She set up a test admin user and it worked for me. So, i asked to assume that account, with my email address. It worked then. Today, again, it won’t accept the login. I am totally locked out of website!
Today, I decided that perhaps the problem is I use the same email address for another WP website. So, I registered on https://www.blackgirlsstaylit.org/ as a new user. That didn’t work; seem to be signed up as a subscriber.
HELP!
WP.com: Unknown
Jetpack: Unknown
Correct account: UnknownThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your website. However, your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Bluehost.
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
And, they do have some options for you at https://wordpress.org/support/article/resetting-your-password/

Thanks macmanx for the tutorial re: WP.com vs. WP.org. Super helpful. I found a provisional answer (below). Problem is, it works sometimes; other times I’m prompted to log in to WP and cannot. Password resets do not fix the problem–I’ve done 5 or so. The PWR notices come to my email address but the reset password is still not accepted. So, sounds like I need take this up with BHost.
*SOLVED* I Can’t Log into My Site Through WordPress, Only Through BlueHost!
