 * I cannot log in to edit my site anymore. During set up there was an update, Themefy
   had some trouble, passwords were changed etc. Not it is a mess. Where can I get
   everything consolidated and fixed?

 * Are you unable to log in because the password is now incorrect?
 * If so, follow this guide to change it directly in the database: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin](https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin)(
   you’ll find phpMyAdmin in your hosting account’s control panel)
 * If you’re unable to log in for another reason, please elaborate.

 * It is very confusing. I have a wordpress username and password set up in 2009.(
   andersonmga – username) In the site I am currently working (singledigitgolf.com)
   in the username and password is somehow different- my set up I guess (MGAnderson–
   username). Then the site was not operating properly, I updated and was then unable
   to log in. Thinking that I forgot to note a password change, I went ahead and
   changed passwords. Come to find out, my site had two operational points of log
   in. One with just my site name – singledigitgolf.com, and another singledigitgolf.
   com.previewc40.carrierzone.com/. When logging in it was searching for both and
   ultimately let me in to neither. Now, both sites will open, and I can seemingly
   log in through the provider site control panel and wordpress installer. But when
   I get there, I can only see the dashboard – when I go to view the site – in singledigitgolf.
   com the edit bar is not visable at the top. Int SDG.previewc40.carrierzone I 
   can see the bar but it is not functional to edit the site. All and all a cluster….
   HELP please..

 * WordPress.org is entirely separate from WordPress sites. Here we develop, distribute,
   and support the software. We don’t integrate with existing sites in any way.
 * > One with just my site name – singledigitgolf.com, and another singledigitgolf.
   > com.previewc40.carrierzone.com/.
 * I assume the second site is some sort of staging or development version. Did 
   someone else set this up for you, or did you have someone else involved managing
   the site in any way?

 * This was a staging site – i guess as I was working on the site after installing
   in Aplus.net. Which is part of Delux – my web host. Working with them on the 
   phone i told them I was having trouble in the site (WordPress just had an update
   that I installed and Themify did not update a change yet). While working with
   them (Aplus) I told them I didnt want that extension, I just wanted it to say
   singledigitgolf.com. Meanwhile, with Themify, they wanted to update and I was
   instructed to save my work to date. With Aplus’s help I saved the .com.previewc40
   extension in a .ftp file at aplus. Did the update and I have been trying to get
   signed in and working ever since. I did not reinstall the .ftp – the site was
   saved already and working briefly.

 * What error do you see after attempting to log in at [http://singledigitgolf.com/wp-login.php](http://singledigitgolf.com/wp-login.php)?

 * It goes to the login page for username and password. I type it in..it searches
   but then does nothing – goes blank to retype. No error. Then on the second try,
   attempting a second password that I have used, it says error – username and password
   is not recognized.
 * More importantly though, I can log in through my service provider and wordpress
   installer, but once I am in, with visibility on the dashboard, I still cannot
   edit. And when I go to the site view – the black menu for editing does not appear.
   So I am stuck – cant edit the site. I have messaged Themify (Kurt) also to see
   if they know what is wrong.

 * Try [manually resetting your plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)(
   no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting
   provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/
   and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the 
   default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme
   functions can interfere like plugins).
