Here’s a helpful guide based on advice from the WordPress Happiness Team, designed to make the consolidation as simple as possible.

Managing multiple WordPress.com sites separately can be a hassle, especially when you want a streamlined process for updating and maintaining your content. Fortunately, consolidating these sites under one administrative account is straightforward.

Here’s a helpful guide based on advice from the WordPress Happiness Team, designed to make the consolidation as simple as possible.

Step 1: Choose Your Primary Account

First, identify which WordPress.com accounts you wish to use as the primary one. This account will manage all other sites you consolidate under it.

Step 2: Transfer the Site

Next, you must transfer any sites under other accounts to your chosen primary account. WordPress provides a detailed guide that walks you through this process. You can find the guide here. Follow the steps meticulously to ensure a smooth transfer.

Step 3: Use Incognito Mode

During the transfer process, it’s advisable to log into your non-primary account using an Incognito browser window. This prevents the issue of being logged into multiple WordPress accounts in the same browser, which isn’t supported. Using Incognito mode ensures that you won’t run into session conflicts.

Step 4: Manage Both Sites

Once the transfer is complete, you can manage all your sites from your primary WordPress.com account. This setup simplifies your administrative duties and consolidates your dashboard, making it easier to update and maintain multiple sites.

Bonus Tip: Explore the Hosting Dashboard

WordPress recently introduced a Hosting Dashboard designed to make site management even more accessible. This new feature can benefit users managing multiple sites. For more information on the Hosting Dashboard and how it can benefit your site management, visit this link.

By following these steps, managing multiple WordPress sites will become a breeze, allowing you more time to focus on creating content and engaging with your audience.

I hope this helps you, too!
