I think maakeenwebsite was used to typing http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin and having it open the dashboard. Maybe because you clicked "Deze gegevens onthouden" on your Mac.

The problem is when you switch computers, /wp-admin redirects you to wp-login, and you have to supply your username and password again.

Sadly, you have to do this every time you switch computers or browsers. There is no way around it. You have to login at least once on each computer/browser to be able to check "Deze gegevens onthouden" and keep your dashboard open. (That's bad practice by the way. Any person who uses the computer after you and types http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin will then be able to open your blog and add/delete stuff!)

Only do that if you own the computer/laptop.

As for logging in using your new computer, I'm afraid you're going to have to provide your username and password.

If you can't remember it, you can have it reset by clicking "Wachtwoord vergeten?" in the wp-login page. The password reset instructions will be sent to the email address you use for wordpress.com, so make sure you can access that address too.

Yes, you should be able to get in via that link on any platform, but you're using two different browsers, or versions of browsers, on your Mac and PC. Try using the https version of the site instead; that gives more consistent results. Log in to https://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin

Thanks for the reply!
Yes, i understand this, but it must be possible tough to log in to your website on whatever computer i use or not? Also when i am on the other site of the world on a different computer.
I seems to me that the only thing i need is to type http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin in to enter my admin.
Hope you can help me!

This is your blog URL http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/

By "WordPress 3.6 UI testing version" do you mean MP6?

wpvscmr — Thu, 09 May 2013 21:45:45 +0000

Hi Mathilda, it sounds like your current User doesn't have the Administrator status needed to delete other Users.

You may need to get in touch with the previous admin and get them to grant you Admin status so that you'll then be able to edit other User accounts.

Good luck.

The previous owner of my blog just transferred it to me. When I go into Users, I try to delete him, but a message pops up saying that I don't have permission to do that. How do I get him off the list of Users?

Hi there,
I don't have an answer so I tagged this thread for a Staff response.

lorelle on "Autosave notification when not necessary"

lorelle — Thu, 09 May 2013 17:55:52 +0000

I and my college students are using the WordPress 3.6 UI testing version and posts are receiving notification of an autosave older than the version in the post editor when visiting a post that has not been edited in hours, days, weeks, or months. All are experiencing this over the past two weeks on Firefox and Chrome browsers.

We edit the post and the warning appears immediately, even before we make any changes on the post.

Is there a WordPress 3.6 tester area in the forum for such reports? Thanks!

thisisntmyusername on "Remove visitor stats from admin bar?"

thisisntmyusername — Sun, 05 May 2013 21:00:17 +0000

I solved it by editing the CSS to disable the admin-bar through the stylish add-on to Firefox.

It's not possible for us bloggers to remove the sparkline stats graph from the Admin bar.

thisisntmyusername on "Remove visitor stats from admin bar?"

thisisntmyusername — Sun, 05 May 2013 20:27:51 +0000

Oh, i could have been more precise, yes i know that it's ones personal admin bar, but i want to hide my own bloggs stats so i can't see them in my admin bar.

I'm not a frequent blogger but i do it for fun and really likes it, and seeing that I've got 0 visitors is kind of boring, that's why i want to remove it, i don't care about how many people visits my blog.

timethief on "Remove visitor stats from admin bar?"

timethief — Sat, 04 May 2013 17:37:16 +0000

Also note that the Admin bar is not your Admin bar. When I or any other WordPress.com member is logged in it's their Admin bar.

timethief on "Remove visitor stats from admin bar?"

timethief — Sat, 04 May 2013 17:36:18 +0000

No it's not possible to remove the sparkline stats graph. As only you can see it when you are logged into WordPress.com it's not an issue.

thisisntmyusername — Sat, 04 May 2013 17:15:01 +0000

Hi,

I'm just started blogging again on wordpress and really enjoy it. But one thing i find frustrating is that the visitor stats is shown everywhere i go in what i guess is the admin bar. So is it possible to remove the stats from the admin bar?

I'm just blogging for fun i don't care at all about the stats so it's kind of annoying to see them all the time.

guitarwizard93 on ""Contact Us" Messages"

guitarwizard93 — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:57:40 +0000

The website I'm reconstructing has a Contact Us page, and there's a second page with a contact form on it as well, messages from which are all found in the "Feedback" section on my dashboard. Is there a way to get email notifications sent directly to my inbox (as well as the dashboard of course)?

I've taken over this website so the admin email address is still the last guy who was in charge of it, and I'm still waiting for mine to be approved. Is the message forwarding one of the features that comes with being an admin?

(Sorry, I've not done a site with contact forms before!)

I'm teaching my WordPress college course and have about 15 out of 22 students who are unable to get the Add Media button to work when they click it. It works on Chrome but not Firefox.

This came up on Tuesday and it still is causing problems today (thursday). Ideas other than switching to Chrome?

Thanks,

kardotim on "Can't use plug-ins"

kardotim — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:44:18 +0000

We don't allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

However, we do have some really cool widgets. Perhaps one of those might meet your needs?

jjjflanagan on "Can't use plug-ins"

jjjflanagan — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:28:53 +0000

I've seen this crop up a couple times but I believe the answer given doesn't apply to me (i.e. the problem is being hosted by wordpress.com)

I can't see the pluggins option in the menu, originally it was brandjack.wordpress.com, now it is brandjack.me. I also have custom design. These are the only changes I've made.

Any help, whether or not I can use pluggins, would be hugely appreciated, thank you.
