Your WordPress site is the hub of your personal brand online. Granting us access allows our team to publish blog posts, optimize your pages for SEO, install tracking codes, and keep your site running smoothly — all without needing your hosting credentials.
Estimated Time to Complete: 2 to 3 minutes
What You’ll Need
- Administrator access to your WordPress dashboard (yourdomain.com/wp-admin)
- Our team email: access@yourcontentfactory.com
Steps
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard. Go to
yourdomain.com/wp-adminand sign in with your admin account. - Navigate to Users. In the left sidebar, hover over Users and click Add New User (or Add New in some versions).
- Fill in the details.
- Email: access@yourcontentfactory.com
- Username: blitzmetrics (or we can provide a specific username)
- Role: Administrator
- Check “Send user notification.” This will email us a link to set up a password.
- Click Add New User. We’ll receive the invitation email and can log in right away.
Why Administrator? We need Administrator access to install and configure tracking plugins (like Google Tag Manager), manage SEO settings (Rank Math / Yoast), and ensure your digital plumbing is set up correctly. If you prefer, you can grant us Editor access, but that limits our ability to manage plugins and site settings.
WordPress Roles Explained
Administrator — Full access to the site including plugins, themes, and settings. This is what we recommend.
Editor — Can publish and manage all posts and pages, including those written by other users. Cannot manage plugins or settings.
Author — Can only publish and manage their own posts. Not sufficient for our work.
For WordPress.com Sites
If your site is hosted on WordPress.com (not self-hosted), the process is slightly different:
- Go to your WordPress.com dashboard at wordpress.com.
- Navigate to People (or Users) in the left sidebar.
- Click Invite.
- Enter access@yourcontentfactory.com and set the role to Administrator.
- Click Send Invitation.
Troubleshooting
I can’t access wp-admin. Your WordPress login URL might be different if a security plugin has changed it. Try yourdomain.com/login or yourdomain.com/wp-login.php. If you still can’t get in, your hosting provider can help you reset access.
I’m not sure if I have Administrator access. After logging in, if you can see “Plugins” and “Settings” in the left sidebar, you have Administrator access. If you only see Posts, Pages, and Media, you may be an Editor — ask the site owner to upgrade your role.
This is one part of our Access Checklist. Visit blitzmetrics.com/acl to see all the accounts we need access to and complete the rest of the checklist.
