  Hi,

  I set up a blog for someone under my account here:
  http://firstintlbank.wordpress.com/

  I since have changed the admin email to someone else’s. The email seemed to be changed correctly but… I’m still get notifications about people subscribing to “my blog.” I can’t turn these notifications off because after I switched admin emails, I no longer have access to that dashboard.

  I have other wordpress.com blogs that I want to keep and I want notifications from them but not the blog in question here. Any help?

  Changing an email address alone does not transfer blog ownership. Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account and associate email address.They are the original Admin of the blog.

  You have to add the other username account(s) ie. as Admin to the blog you want to be transferred to them and then use the process to transfer the blog to their username account.

  Thanks,

  So I think I followed the transfer process correctly. I’m getting a “Cannot Access the Dashboard Requested” when I click the discussion settings link in the email notifications I’m getting.

  Also, this blog is no longer in the list of “My Blogs.” Yet I’m still getting subscription notifications.

  Are you sure it’s not a blog you have “hidden” from displaying on your My Blogs page?

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  Right. It’s not listed in the hidden or visible blogs.

  As far as I can see you are not a member of that blog anymore. I’ve just made some changes hoping you won’t get any notifications again.

  Please let us know if you need any further assistance!
