Where is my API key? (10 posts)

    I'm trying to find my API key. It's not on my dashboard profile.

    You must have registered here at wordpress.com to get an API key. Just having a wordpress blog somewhere else does not get you a key.

    You can see your key at http://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/profile.php

    And did you actually READ that error message? Did you click on the link?

    Yes, I clicked on the link. Did you actually read my question?

    I clicked on the link.

    That took me to dashboard.

    There is no API key on the dashboard.

    I have a WP site. As far as I know, I am registered.

    I read that several times and it's pretty clear what they're saying. I even copied and pasted text from the faq you've asked me to review.

    The problem is, there is no mention of an API key where the faq says there should be.

    Sometimes when I click on the link, I am asked for my AP user name and password. Then I get a message that my user name is wrong. AUTISMNE. That's my user name, right? It's to the left of this post. That's what I typed as a user name. Got my password right too.

    If you have no idea what's going on, then it's OK to say so. But please don't tell me to review something that I referred to in this string.

    At the risk of being hollered at... Keep in mind there are 3 sets of usernames and passwords in play.

    1) wordpress.org, these forums.
    2) wordpress.com, where you get the API key.

    Your .com username is not the same as your .org user name.

    3) Your own hosted WordPress site.

    I just checked my .COM profile, the key is definitely there. It's to the immediate right of my picture and immediately below "Your Profile and Personal Options" in normal text.

    How do you get the API key with a .org account? I installed wordpress.org with fantastico and there was no email telling me the api key...s there any way to find it?
