Unable to make changes and updates as admin?

    For some reason I am unable to log in to my site through wp-admin. I can log in through wordpress.com but if I try to change or update anything I am asked to log in again and my credentials are not recognized.

    Is there any ideas on how to fix this?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi there,

    While under your WordPress.com account, I am able to access the edit portion of the dashboard without issue. I see that the password was changed yesterday. Were you able to log in at that point?

    I am also wondering if this may be a potential cache issue. Have you tried logging in using a different browser or clearing your browser’s cache?

    Let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist further.

    Thanks!

    I have tried all that. I can only login into the dashboard through wordpress.com and not through the admin log in even with the new password

    Hey there,

    Many thanks for reaching back out.

     I can log in through wordpress.com but if I try to change or update anything I am asked to log in again and my credentials are not recognized.

    The “Allow users to log in to this site using WordPress.com accounts” setting needs to be activated via Settings > Security ( https://wordpress.com/settings/security/wired2hire.ca )

    I hope this helps!
