My Login Fails?

    I was toying around with another blog, then decided to delete it, but now, when I try to access my original blog through the dashboard, the login fails. Well, I can login into the forums, also to the main page, but the dashboard takes me to my original blogs wp-admin page AND then it fails! Also, there is no BLUE BAR at the top of my blog anymore, although, obviously, I am logged in (since I am posting here).

    So, did I screw something up when I deleted my second blog? My original blog:
    http://1monad.wordpress.com/

    is still visible, but I can no longer get in.

    Hey! it´s me again. I looked up a bit and found out that clearing the cookies might be enough. I´ve tried and, so far it works. Maybe it´s as easy as that.

    I’ve tried clearing cookies, also logging on separate browsers (like IE, which I NEVER use, so it had not a history of being there). Still, the same problem.

    Also, I cannot access my global dashboard… Whenever I try to access my blog or the dash, I am logged out automatically. The only thing I can do is log into these forum and log in through the frontpage of wordpress.com. I do either, the blue line appears at the top of my screen, but I cannot do anything else. It’s as if the blue line offer my options that no longer work.

    It happens to me right the same: the cokies-clearing worked for a while but the effect vanished and now i´m at the same point as you. I´ve also tried with Safari and now improvings showed up…
    My blog is: http://dreamessenceonthemove.wordpress.com

    Can anyone help us???

    @1monad and dreamessence

    If you’ve cleared your cache and cookies and still cannot log in, contact staff and give them your complete blog URL (beginning with http://) your email address used to set up your account, you username, what browser/version and operating system you are using, and operating system.

    http://wordpress.com/contact-support/ (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm Pacific time) or using the “support” button in the upper right of your dashboard.

    I SENT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO THE SUPPORT CREW.
    ******************
    I recently signed up for your service and spent a great deal of time creating my blog. After I was finished, I wanted to experiment with the templates, and so I created another blog to do so. I decided to keep my two blogs:

    http://1monad.wordpress.com/ &
    http://worsification.wordpress.com/

    Everything was fine, so I created a third blog (to experiment some more. The third blog’s url was:

    http://xchrist.wordpress.com/

    Now: I was ready to start working on content rather than design, and because I didn’t want to take up extra space on your servers, I deleted the third blog (because I did not need it).

    I was sent the following email confirmation:

    —–
    Dear User,
    You recently clicked the ‘Delete Blog’ link on your blog and filled in a
    form on that page.
    If you really want to delete your blog, click the link below. You will not
    be asked to confirm again so only click this link if you are 100% certain:
    http://xchrist.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=delete-blog&h=f003e3
    —–

    I clicked the confirmation link, my third blog was deleted per my request, but there is a major problem. I can still VIEW my first two blogs; however, I can no longer login to them. That is–my global dashboard link, and my blog dashboards no longer take me to the USER ADMIN PAGE, instead I am taken to the USER ADMIN LOGIN PAGE of each active blog, where I am prompted for my username and password. When I enter the information, the login fails with the message: “Error: Wrong username.”

    So, to recap: I CAN STILL LOGIN, to the help forums, and also I CAN STILL LOGIN FROM THE FRONT PAGE of wordpress.com, but I cannot access any of the links in the blue bar at the top of the page. I am prevented from accessing my two active blogs, and the blue bar does not show up at the top of the browser when I am viewing my blogs (only when I am in the forums, or if I login through the front page of wordpress.com).

    I have tried using multiple browsers (firefox, ie, opera) and the problem is always the same. I have also tried clearing my history folders, my cookies, and even logging in on a difference computer. The problem is the same.

    Please help me fix this, even if you have to change my password. I would, however, like to keep my username (1monad) if possible.

    More information about my problem can be found in the support forums, at this link:

    Thanks Much,

    Putting the content of a support request in the forum will not change the response.

    Putting in the request that more information is in the forum means I answer here or there because I will not do both.

    Please try and login and decide where you want to continue this.

    Thanks, everything seems to be working now.
