SDB Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I can log into WHMCS using my user name (which isn't an email address) and PW, but when I go to submit a support ticket, it asks me to log in using an email. How do I resolve this issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I resolve this issue? how are you logging in with just a username ? if you're using the third-party addon in Marketplace to do that, then you should contact its developers to find out why it wouldn't work when you login to submit a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see that my account has an email address, but the login fails as does password reset, no message ever arrived after doing this several times. It's frustrating since I can't open a ticket due to this issue and can't find a similar one here in the community 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Brian, we bought our license directly from WHMCS, so I'm confused. Is there a way to submit a ticket, or send a direct email, without going through the hoops of Help -> Get Help -> Ask Us -> Submit a Ticket -> "Reason" -> Other -> Submit a Support Ticket? This is where I hit the roadblock of needing to login using an email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I hit the roadblock of needing to login using an email. normally, direct license users should just login in to the Members Area and open a ticket via there... but as you say, that's where you're coming unstuck because it's not accepting your email address or password reset - possibly you used another email address when you bought the license ? in any event, if you can open a ticket via Reseller Support, you will be able to give them your license details and they should be able to check the details they have - and possibly reset or update the email address / password for you to allow you to login when you need to. i'm not aware of any direct email or telephone options - there is an online chat for certain license holders, but I think you'd need to login to use that, so not really of much use in your position! 🙂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDB Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Thanks again Brian, I think you nailed it, "possibly you used another email address when you bought the license ? " Here's the thing, we've setup several staff with full admin privileges, using their individual emails. But from what you're saying, only the one address used for the initial purchase will have the ability to submit tickets? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what you're saying, only the one address used for the initial purchase will have the ability to submit tickets? the important thing to appreciate here is that your WHMCS install isn't linked in the way you think to whmcs.com - the links within the software are just that, links.... whmcs.com is not embedded within the software, so the links to open a ticket, visit this community are just links and nothing more... hence why you need to login etc. creating admins in your WHMCS has no connectivity or interaction with whmcs.com - they're just staff that have access to your install, not whmcs.com. I suppose you could create contacts/sub-accounts on the WHMCS site for those admins who you want to be able to open tickets with WHMCS - but next time you open a ticket with them, ask them and i'm sure they'll be able to tell you if it's possible and the procedure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
