   hi all,

   I have a wordpress installed on a domain, and have a few plugins that need an API key (akismet, wordpress.com stats). I also have two different accounts on wordpress.com.

   up until now, the domain blog has been using the API key from account1, but I am no longer using that account and want it to point to account2. when I attempt to change the API key, I get this error:

   "The owner of that API Key ([account2]) is not on the access list for this blog. When this blog was registered, [account1]'s API key was used. To add you to the access list, [account1] must visit this blog's stats dashboard page and use the form at the bottom of that page."

   ... and yet, I can't get to this mysterious form at the bottom of the blog's stats dashboard page.

   help? how do I do this?

   thank you oh so much.

   It's stored within the wp_options table of your blog. Best bet would be to access the database using a tool like phpMyAdmin and delete that record from that table. Do that and the form shoudl reappear.

   You should be asking this over at http://wordpress.org by the way. That's the site for support of the software.

   Actually, the form is in the global dashboard:

   http://dashboard.wordpress.com

   Login to the dashboard using the old account and you will see a form on the 'stats' page of your blog at the bottom of the page that has this:

   Stats Access
   Add a User
   
   Type the e-mail address of another WordPress.com user to grant them access to see your blog stats.
   Email address:

   If you don't see it, clear your browser cache and then try again. If that doesn't work, maybe try another browser to see if it comes up. If not, then send a feedback into the staff here at wp.com through your global dashboard, the 'support' tab in this forum or an email to support at wordpress.com

   thanks trent! I still don't see the form you're referring to, I did try clearing the cache & using IE instead of firefox. I'll send feedback, thanks for the help & advice.

   I have the same problem - and I've been around in circles many times. I am hosting my blog on my own domain, I have the API Key, but when I enter it, I get the same as the original poster here - and I too cannot find this mysterious form. When I go to http://dashboard.wordpress.com/ and click on the Dashboard - Blog Stats Page, all I see is:

   No blogs... yet.

   You don’t appear to have any blogs yet, why not start one?

   Thank you for using

   Am I on the wrong page, wrong browser (using FF), what???
