Manage Multiple Sites

Your WordPress.com account can manage multiple websites under one login. This guide will show you how to access your sites and move your sites to other accounts.

When you sign up for WordPress.com, you’ll create your first website during the signup process. After that, you can create additional sites under the same account, although each site requires its own plan.

Each site will have at least one user (the owner), but it can have multiple users with editing access. When you create a new site, your account becomes the site’s owner and administrator.

If someone invites you to administer another WordPress.com site they own, you can accept the invitation using your existing account. This lets you manage someone else’s site without them having access to your other sites, unless you specifically invite them.

A website can have different site and subscription owners. For example, if you create a site, you are the owner. If you invite another admin and they purchase a plan or domain, they become the subscription owner. As the site owner, you cannot renew or cancel a subscription owned by another admin. Instead, ask the subscription owner to handle renewals or cancellations, or request that they transfer the subscription to you.

You can view all of the sites you own and manage through the Sites list in your WordPress.com dashboard.

Access your sites list by using the All Sites option in any of your sites’ dashboard. You can also set the Sites list to be your default landing page when you log into WordPress.com.

You can also use the Sites page to add a new site. Find a site by using the search option or sort your sites. You can filter sites by privacy status (private, coming soon, public).

A site’s ownership, plan, and attached domains can be transferred to another administrator on that site. See our Transfer a Site to Another WordPress.com Account guide for step-by-step instructions.

To move a domain to a new owner while remaining as the overall site owner, see our Transfer a Domain to Another WordPress.com Account guide for step-by-step instructions.

To move a plan to a new owner while remaining as the overall site owner, the current plan owner should contact support for assistance.

If you are not sure which admin on your site owns its subscriptions, you can view a list of all administrators on your site by navigating to the Users section of your dashboard.

If your website appears to be missing from your account, you can try the following:

• You might be viewing the wrong site in your account.
  • Use the All sites option to check the other sites in your account. You may have multiple websites in your account with similar names, so view each site to find the one you’re looking for.
• You might have more than one WordPress.com account. Log out of the account you’re signed into, and try logging in with any other email addresses you may have used to sign up to WordPress.com.
  • If you’re not sure which email address(es) you may have used to sign up, check your known email inboxes for any correspondence from WordPress.com (renewal notices, promotions, signup emails, or receipts.)
  • If you don’t recall the password for the account you’re trying to log into, you can reset your password by clicking the Lost your password? option from the login screen.
• Your site may not be hosted with WordPress.com.
  • To access your WordPress.org website, you can add /wp-admin to the end of your site’s domain to log into your site’s dashboard. Install the free Jetpack plugin to manage your site in your WordPress.com account.
• For plugin-enabled sites, the Jetpack connection to your website may be broken, making your site appear missing from your dashboard. Resolve Jetpack connection errors with these steps.
