What’s my user account name?

  • I’m not sure what my user account name is.

    I sign in to the dashboard using “admin”

    In the GUI, on the top left corner it says “(sitename) Blog”

    I signed up for WP through my server and the account name in there is just the domain ur.

    So which of these is my user account name?

    Thanks.

  • The login account name for your WordPress Blog is admin, and whatever password gets you in, until you change it, or unless you create a non-admin user account for yourself on your blog. The login information for your hosts control panel/ftp or file manager, is whatever they gave you or what you selected when you signed up for hosting. Two completely seperate things under normal circumstance.

    Hey Clayton!

    I found this code online:

    <?php require_once(“/home/useracct/public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php”); ?>

    in this case, what’s my /useracct/? is it the “(sitename) blog” that I see at the top left of my dashboard?

    The useracct you posted there would be the username for your actual website. It is probably the same username you use to login to FTP or your control panel. Your host can most likely provide you with the username if you’re unsure of what it is.
