 * I have a problem getting a valid API key to use. I have one for a different account
   I registered a while back, but it won’t work with the site I am currently using
   and when I try to get one with this account I’m sent straight back to the old
   one. The site isn’t hosted by wordpress so what do I do? I need the API key to
   get a plugin to work, but it tells me I can only have the old one that doesn’t
   work.
    I get a notice to deactivate the plugin till i get the API key.. GRRRR.
   so aggravating.. Any ideas and/or suggestions to resolve this?
 * Thanks

 * First, try changing the user associated with your self-hosted site (WordPress.
   org blog) using this method:
 * [http://en.support.wordpress.com/api-keys/#changing-the-api-key-used-for-stats](http://en.support.wordpress.com/api-keys/#changing-the-api-key-used-for-stats)
 * If that doesn’t help, you can contact WordPress.com support from here to get 
   things sorted.
