[resolved] Installed through Blue Host - now what? (2 posts)

    I bought my hosting through BlueHost and installed wordpress onto my site directly through their "one-click" process. It now looks like I have a wordpress site on my domain, but I can't figure out how to access my admin panel to import entries (I'm trying to import them from my xanga). I was not prompted to create an actual wordpress account (with a login and password) when I was setting up wordpress through BlueHost, but I set one up just now anyway to see if that would help. I have no idea if this account is linked to my actual domain. I've tried going to mydomain.com/wp-admin/ but arrive at a login page and any login I try is "invalid".

    How and where can I make edits on my site?

    If you used SimpleScripts to install Wordpress, you should have received an email with the login information for use on the admin page. It is possible that the email went into a spam folder if you did not see it.

    If you cannot find the email there are a few options:

    1. Click the Lost your password? link on the admin login page for your wordpress blog.
    2. Log in to the Bluehost CPanel, click the Wordpress icon and under the "My Installs" section. Underneath the URL of your blog should be a link to "advanced" and then you can click on "resend login info"
