# Admin Log In

 * I recently tried to create a new page on our organisations website ( [http://www.kimberworthpark.org.uk/](http://www.kimberworthpark.org.uk/))
   and the page shows up on our dashboard saying that it is published and is publicly
   visible, however it is not showing up on our actual website. I noticed on our
   dashboard that all the other pages were created by ‘admin’ I only have the log
   in details for ‘news admin’ and I believe that this is the reason that the page
   I created is not appearing on our website, Is this the reason its not appearing
   or is there another reason? (I have created entries in our latest news section
   with no difficulty but that appears to bee all I am able to do). Our website 
   was originally set up by a third party outside of our organisation and he has
   only given our organisation the log in details for ‘news admin’ and we have been
   trying to contact him for over a month in order to get the ‘admin’ log in details
   but he is never getting back to us. Is there any way for us to recover these 
   details so that we can create the new page? it is becoming very urgent for us
   to create the page as we need to publisise a new project that our organisation
   has started.

 * What is the URL of the new page?
 * Where exactly should the new page appear? Also, might your site use WP menus —

 * As news editor you have been creating posts and assigning them categories, the
   menu structure has presumably been setup to display these various categories.
   But now you want a new PAGE, and its place in the menu structure has not been
   anticipated.
 * The bad news is that you most likely do not have the role of editing menus, so
   just check, from the Dashboard, do you get Appearance > Menus ? If you do then
   add you page in there. Otherwise you have to rely upon plans B or C.
 * Plan B: Try and contact your web developer, email him, snail mail him, look up
   his mother in the electoral roll, etc.
 * Plan C: Your website is hosted by Webfusion. Does your organisation have any 
   record of them, have you been paying for hosting from them ? If so then they 
   will be able to give you access to the web hosting, and thence break in to the
   WordPress administration. On the other hand you may have been buying hosting 
   from your web developer as a reseller, this makes your relationship with Webfusion
   more difficult.
    It is worth contacting Webfusion and seeing if and how they 
   can help you.

 * Thank you both for the help, unfortunately Appearances > Menus does not appear
   on my Dashboard and when I try and follow the above link it tells me I do not
   have sufficient permissions to access the page.
 * The URL of the page is [http://www.kimberworthpark.org.uk/?page_id=433](http://www.kimberworthpark.org.uk/?page_id=433)
   and it should appear as a subsection under ‘Our Work’

 * I can see [http://www.kimberworthpark.org.uk/?page_id=433](http://www.kimberworthpark.org.uk/?page_id=433)
   so the page is published, but it sounds like your account doesn’t have the administrator
   level access needed to manage your site’s menus.
 * For that you’ll probably need to contact either your original developer or hosting
   provider as [@rossmitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rossmitchell/)
   suggested.
 * Another option is to try [resetting the password](http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin)
   of the admin account, but I would warn against that unless you’re very comfortable
   working with phpMyAdmin and/or MySQL.

 * Following up on [@jkovis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkovis/) suggestion.
 * KPCP do you have any other details about the website or hosting ? You have a 
   WordPress login for an account that can create posts and pages, do you have logon
   details on the hosting management ? The database ? Or anything else ? Who was
   originally the person who engaged and communicated with the developer, go through
   their paperwork, go through their emails from the developer. Just maybe you can
   catch a break here.
 * The excellent suggestion by [@jkovis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkovis/)
   of doing a password reset requires that you have access into the database, this
   would usually go with hosting management access.

 * Thanks again for your help both of you, unbelievably though the person who originally
   created our website has decided to e-mail me the details about 10 minuets ago
   so its resolved itself! 5 or 6 weeks he’s been ignoring my attempts to contact
   him and he decides to finally listen a couple of hours after I turn to the support
   forum!
 * Thank again for your help.
