    Hello all
    Can someone tell me how to get my API resent. I had a typo in my email address when I signed up and I think my intro email with API was lost at least I don’t have it.

    Thanks

    I am logged on as “PenMaster” while reading and replying to your post. When I follow the where is my API key instructions I go to my dashboard and the sentence in my profile says akismet is not active you must enter your API. I scroll down to the link that says you can see API here and I am taken to a logon box that will not accept my “PenMaster” username. Do I have an account? I can’t figure out why my user name will not work.
    Should I open another account?
    Thanks

    You have to be over at https://wordpress.com on your profile page over there to grab your API code. Sound slike you’re at your blog’s profile page looking for the code.

    No I am actually at WP logged in as “PenMaster” taken from
    the upper right hand corner of the page. From the post above the one you responded to there is a link to
    the WP faq: Where is my API

    “To find your key go to your dashboard and then click on “Profile” (or “My Account”) and you should see a sentence that says Your WordPress.com API key is: “

    but on my dashboard at https://meandering-pen.com it says
    aksimit is not activated you must put in your API.

    Back to WP faq “Where is my API” at the bottom of the page is a link:
    (https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/profile.php)

    When I click on it takes me to a login screen which will not accept my login credentials. It claims there is no such username as the one I am entering??? And the same one
    I am already logged in to on another screen. I have double checked my profile and reset my password, no change

    Thanks

    This is WordPress.ORG.

    Not to be confused, at all, with WordPress.COM.

    *if* you’ve ever registered for a WordPress.COM account, you’ll have an API. You’ll never find your API key at your blog or here at www.ads-software.com.

    Only at WordPress.COM

    If you’ve not yet registered for a free account at WordPress.COM, please do so.
