Summary
A HolderChat account lets you create chatbots, manage settings, and link WordPress sites to your dashboard. Registration and login use custom pages on holderchat.com (not the default WordPress admin login for regular users).
Prerequisites
- Valid email address
- Web browser with cookies enabled
Step-by-step: Register
- Go to holderchat.com/register
- Enter your email, display name, and password
- Submit the form
- You are redirected to Dashboard (
/dashboard)
Step-by-step: Log in
- Go to holderchat.com/login
- Enter your username or email and password
- Click Log In
- You land on Dashboard
User profile (/user)
After logging in, open Profile or go to /user to:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Account email (read-only in most cases) | |
| Display name | Shown in dashboard |
| Password | Change your password |
Non-admin users are redirected from /wp-admin/ to Dashboard when they try to access WordPress admin.
Password recovery
- On the login page, click Lost your password?
- Enter your email or username
- Check your inbox for the reset link
- Set a new password and log in again
Security best practices
- Use a unique, strong password
- Do not share your HolderChat login with site visitors
- WordPress Connector uses a separate site secret (not your HolderChat password)
What triggers a rebuild
| Action | Rebuild needed? |
|---|---|
| Register / login | No |
| Update profile name | No |
| Change password | No |
Limitations
- One HolderChat account can own multiple chatbots
- Linking a WordPress site requires the claim flow (see /documentation/linking-wordpress-to-your-holderchat-account/)
Troubleshooting
Symptom: Cannot log in after registration
Cause: Wrong credentials or email not verified (if verification is enabled).
Fix: Use password reset; check spam folder.
Symptom: Redirected away from wp-admin
Cause: Normal behavior for non-admin users.
Fix: Use /dashboard for bot management.
