• when I log into wordpress.org, there is no dashboard. Just Showcase Themes Plugins Mobile Support Get Involved About Blog Hosting.

    I’ve uninstalled wordpress and reinstalled it and I am still getting the same thing.

    I registered with bluehost and ran the quick install and this is day two.

    My website is oakwayteam.com.

    I received the welcome to wordpress information with a this link. I get a 503 or a 404 error. Admin URL: http://www.oakwayteam.com//wp-admin

    Please help me find the dashboard.

    WordPress.org is entirely separate from your site, we simply develop and support the software here.

    Currently, the domain name you listed is parked at GoDaddy. If you’re hosting with Bluehost, and you do own that domain, you’ll need to start by directing that domain to Bluehost.

    You can get Bluehost’s name servers from https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/1

    Then, follow this guide to change your domain to use those name servers: https://www.godaddy.com/help/set-custom-nameservers-for-domains-registered-with-godaddy-12317

    If you need any help with the specifics on those, you’ll have to contact Bluehost’s or GoDaddy’s support departments (depending on which point you run into trouble).

    Next, when a domain is registered or altered like this, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, your domain may go to its old location, and you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors.”

    If you still have trouble viewing the site after 48 hours have passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache.

    If that doesn’t work, try clearing your local DNS cache: https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html

    Finally, when the domain is properly pointed to your hosting account at Bluehost, and if WordPress is installed under the domain you listed, you’ll find your Dashboard at http://www.oakwayteam.com/wp-admin

    [Edit: ^]
    Your website is saying the domain name has expired: http://oakwayteam.com/ – So you need to take this up with your domain name providers.

    To be clear, your dashboard is here: http://oakwayteam.com/wp-admin
    It is not here: https://wordpress.org

    WordPress.org is completely separate in every way from your website.

    I just renewed oakwayteam through 2018 yesterday evening.

    Thanks, Jeff and Andrew. I will try your suggestions now.
