Log in Problems

  • After a month of not using my blog – I tried to log in and for some reason it does not allow me to log in with my old username and password.

    I tried to get a new password sent – but it says my e-mail is not in the system…. Weird!

    How can I fix this please?

    Thank you in advance!

    If you succeed I really suggest you backup your entire installation. They have plugins that make it easy to backup your database as well. WordPress is small enough that you can email yourself your own template and any additional files.

    What I do is zip my entire wordpress folder and then make an additional backup of my theme.

    I can’t reset my Password because the system does not recognize my username or e-mail… Does not make sense!

    How can this just go wrong?

    If you have access to your database you could try creating a new user with admin controls.

    OR

    Try sending a message to yourself and see where the notification ends up. You may have used an alternate email address. Is there a contact form on your site or some other way for visitors to contact you via email?

    Is your website live? I’ll have a look if it is.

    Hi. I got the message you left on the blog. It goes to the e-mail address I have assigned to the blog.

    Should I just redo the whole thing?

    it’s really bizarre that you’re not able to get your email account recognized in the lost password area but you did receive the notification.

    Yes, redo it, but test out your new install before deleting the old one.

    IF you have FTP access to your host you could try modifying your mysql database and create a new user in your WordPress installation.

    Honestly, don’t overlook Blogger if you’re just looking for a simple blog. If you have your own domain you can do a lot of customizations, such as linking it to your Facebook. It wouldn’t be too difficult to get the same look on Blogger as you have on your current blog.
