Justin S  Hey Alanf!     I'm not quite sure what you mean there. Could you possibly show me a screenshot of what you're seeing?

That is very difficult. It means losing all my saved URLs after logging out

Justin S Hmm, unfortunately I'm not able to see an add on this page from my end. Would it show up somewhere particular?

not entered on the chat page  APPARENT THIS QUESTION IS GOING NOWHERE

let's look at another question - created new page here https://alanfharrison.wpengine.com/?page_id=90 but can't see it on the dashboard page or on the published Home page.

I am here https://my.wpengine.com/accounts/alanfharrison/activity_logJustin 

S Ok, do you get any errors when you try to view this through Wp-admin?

How do I find Wp-admin?

Justin S  You would first head to your admin link. https://alanfharrison.wpengine.com/wp-admin

Be prepared for me to not answer at any stage when I follow one of your links. Most time i cant find my way back. moving to your link now

Justin S   No worries

! have arrived at https://alanfharrison.wpengine.com/wp-admin/  what do I do now?

Justin S You'll need to log into Wp-admin / Your wordpress dashboard.

That's another big bone of contention. I keep accurate and frequent records of all passwords I enter this one and also no good i then click forgotten password and it says it will send an email I did it an hour ago and I'm still waiting

copied page URL 

https://my.wpengine.com/?__hstc=102379230.0b72eda4782f7eecd18a3e8d4aa76ed2.1593443245461.1593443245461.1593445267083.2&__hssc=102379230.2.1593445267083&__hsfp=1334833825 

That typically means that the account you're trying to sign into may not exist.

VERY LONG WAIT - keeping this record up to date.

Nodding off - you still there?

Hey Alanf!

 It looks like you may have become disconnected. I read over the chat with Justin. If the email is still not showing up, it may be a good idea to manually reset the password via PHPMyAdmin instead, that way you can at least get into the site: https://wpengine.com/support/how-do-i-reset-my-wp-admin-password/#database

Thanks Brett - wilco

Brett K Roger that! Regarding why https://alanfharrison.wpengine.com/?page_id=90 is not showing on the home page, the WordPress site is set to show a static page on the home, and that is "Welcome - Front Page". 

To my knowledge, you cannot embed a page on another page, so if you wanted the Blackholes page to show on the home, you can either make that the home page under Appearance > Customize> Homepage Settings in the wp-admin area, or edit the "Welcome" page to include a link to it. 

You can also add the Blackhole page to the menu at https://alanfharrison.wpengine.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php   

ME   still trying to reset my password in order to login -- what you have just written is most interesting but I'd better solve the PW problem -- what do I do when I arrive at https://wpengine.com/support/how-do-i-reset-my-wp-admin-password/# database

Brett K That is just a guide on how to perform the manual password reset, so you should be able to follow the steps there to get the password reset. I can assist with setting one on this end if you would prefer, that is just the manual option.Type a message here...

ME   Thanks Please do it Brett

Brett K  Roger that, one sec!

That's been reset now and I was able to log in with the email alanfharrison@icloud.com and the password at this link. You can find the new password at this link (it is set to burn after reading, so mark the password down if you don't plan on changing it right away): 

ME      SezuRvwmxAvVnFn     SezuRvwmxAvVnFn and now trying to login in

is this the logiin page https://my.wpengine.com/?

__hstc=102379230.0b72eda4782f7eecd18a3e8d4aa76ed2.1593443245461.1593467723978.1593472530520.4&__hssc=102379230.3.1593472530520&__hsfp=1334833825

Brett KThe login page would be at alanfharrison.wpengine.com/wp-admin , or you can go to https://my.wpengine.com/installs/alanfharrison and click WordPress Admin: 

That's one main worry over and many thanks.I have put in > 100 hours and it's late now. The missus says stop and I agree.I'll rank you contribution maximum! 

 Brett K Gotta listen to the missus! Have a good one and stay safe. :) We'll be here 24/7 if any other questions come up.

Have kept a record as there is no system to send it by email correct me if I am wrong

Brett KThere is an option somewhere to request a transcript, but I'm not familiar with how it looks from the user end. I can send one out though  That's set to send out once the chat ends now!

 It'll go to alanfharrison@icloud.com

That's even better thanks.The link is to the chat session. The website sets out all my questions and problems to date. I don't imagine anyone is going to study it.

 I find it useful when choosing a q to ask in chat sessions later. You may read that that is true. Thanks again Brett.

Brett KOh yeah, definitely helpful for keeping track! And my pleasure, Alanf! 

Have a good one and stay safe!   Type a message here...
