    I have two WP.com sites with similar names, but different domain names. One of these sites is much older than the other. Could you help me get to the correct dashboard. WP.com isn’t allowing me in as adminstrator for the correct site dashboard.

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

    We cannot assist you unless or until you provide both URLs and clarify exactly which username account registered each one.

    What I post below applies only to sites hosted by WordPress.COM on our servers and not to sites hosted anywhere else.

    You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with the actual blog’s name in that URL.

    I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

    You can update your email address here https://wordpress.com/me

    If you are not logged in under the correct WordPress.COM username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

    If you did not register the site under your username account and do not have the required access, then you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it, and have them act or transfer the site to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

    If the login information has been lost go to
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

    If you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then you must complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.

    Support Staff cannot breach the privacy policy and provide the log-in information. You have to provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff to gain access https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    Hi lysanzia,

    One of these sites is much older than the other. Could you help me get to the correct dashboard.

    What is the URL of the site you need help accessing? If you let me know, I’ll look into this for you.

    Thanks!
