Account issues, login and network problems

Site url?

https://www.diversebydesign.net

BTW.. I posted again at the .com site because in my head this seems like it would be an account issue at the main wordpress site. Whoever manages the accounts I guess. I dunno. Im still a bit confused by the whole thing. All I know is I cannot log in as easily as I should be able to.

Well, you’re in the right forum now. You have a self-hosted WordPress site (hosted on Bluehost) – not a wordpress.com blog. ??

Can you describe the problems you are having in detail?

Actually.. I just switched hosting companies. I am with JustHost now. Strange how you would see the Bluehost info.. hmm…

Anyway… let’s try this.

-I initially started out with a blog that was hosted by wordpress. I used account 1 with this blog.
-I purchased a hosting plan for my domain (diversebydesign.net) and started a wordpress blog to be hosted on that account with a new user account (account 2)
-of course I was then given the opportunity to make a new account to be used when loging in as admin on “wp-login” as we all are I imagine (account 3 – not really an issue here)
-I deleted the first blog yesterday as I was not using it and everything was done on my domain hosted blog (diversebydesign)
-I then gave account 1 access as admin to the blog hoping this would help with any future access issues. Plus I knew that the account could not be deleted so I figured I would just keep it. I could use it as a secondary posting account/identity/whatever.
-I was attempting to connect my blog with Klout.com and that is when I discovered all my login and access issues.
-I can login under account 1 sometimes. Maybe it depends on exactly what the url I am attempting to log into is?
-I can log in to my blog, but only through the “wp-login” url. If I ever try to login through a radio button on the wordpress site or from viewing my blog i get errors telling me that I am not authorized to access the blog and I should ask the admin to invite me. This of course is pointless considering I already have both accounts set up as admin.

… does that make any sense?

What happens when you use the login at https://www.diversebydesign.net/wp-login.php

There I can log in as “tonydbd” or my “admin” username which is just “admin”. My other account username “diversebydesign” will NOT allow me access through that url.

See, I would be fine with that normally because I can still access the blog through the other usernames. Its not like I cannot get in at all at that point. However, when I try to log in to connect with Klout I cannot.

When I am on the Klout site, I click the Networking tab in the settings and it brings me to a list of the various accounts that I can connect. When I choose WordPress it brings me to a WordPress page that asks me to “authorize” or “deny” the access. When I click on “authorize” it gives me an error and tells me that I have to “choose a blog first”.

Of course it never gives me an option. So I sign out and attempt to log back in, which at this point I am on the …..net/wp_login.php url and upon putting in my “tonydbd” credentials it tells me that although I am signed in, I cannot access the dashboard with this account because I do not have admin status. Which I do with this account. Now if I start with a fresh tab and just go to the login url (…..net/wp_login) and log in with the “tonydbd” account, I can access the dashboard and everything else just fine. –confusion!

I mean should I take this up with the Klout support dudes? Just seems this is a wordpress account issue though? Whatchya think?

There I can log in as “tonydbd” or my “admin” username which is just “admin”. My other account username “diversebydesign” will NOT allow me access through that url.

Is diversebydesign listed as a user when you look in the Admin-> Users page?

When I am on the Klout site, I click the Networking tab in the settings and it brings me to a list of the various accounts that I can connect.

Is the Klout site a hosted solution as opposed to self-hosted?

Diversebydesign is listed as an “admin” as well.

I am not sure what you mean by “hosted solution” and “self-Hosted”. Yes. they are their own site. They look to connect to your social media much in the same manner that twitter or another social media site would (I imagine).

Yes. they are their own site.

But that’s just for their accounts – not WordPress sites, yes? If so, do you use any other user name to access your Klout accounts?

No.. no other user names for “Klout”.

In about 5 minutes I am going to go through a simple log-in test of sorts. Mostly because everytime I discuss this issue I get confused just as to what exactly the problem is. Then after about 5 minutes of thinking about it I go, “Oh yea!”.

That tells me that it might not be too big a deal if I work around it AND that workaround does not cause any pain.

I will report back my findings. I do want to say however, that I thank you for your help and interest in helping me. Thanks for sticking it out with me through this.

Can you post a link to the Klout site? I’m curious to see what services they are offering to see if I can get a handle on your situation.

It is just https://www.klout.com

Basically it is a social media service that started a few months back (i think). What they do is they “rank” people based on their influence on social media. It is a philosophy that basically says the more influence a person has on social media, the more they have on the world around them and therefore a higher klout score. I thought it was interesting so I took a stab at it.

The issue that I have is when I try to connect my blog to the site as one of my influential tools or whatever they wanna call it.

Check it out. Maybe it will give you some insight as to me issues, your right.

BTW- the results of my little account review. This might be the issue too, I dunno. Maybe I am just having one big BRAIN FART!

Accounts on my blog:
Diversebydesign (admin access)
Tonydbd (admin access)

Account(s) on WordPress.com
Tonydbd

Account(s) on www.ads-software.com (forum only)
Diversebydesign

OK – so you have 2 wordpress sites. One self-hosted and the other on wordpress.com yes? And you’re trying to get both of the sites linked to your Klout account, yes?

No. Only one. I have one self-hosted and there USED to be a wordpress.com hosted blog but I deleted that one a week ago or so.

But to answer your question, only one blog and I am trying to get only the one (of course) linked/connected/whatever.

Did you ever try to link the old wordpress.com site to your Klout account? If so, was that successful?
