  Started this blog in 2012 for the London Olympoics and posted up til Paris 2024. Now want to add new content. Can still view the content. I cannot find anyway to access it. All usual avenues have failed. Email address that says it is not recognized. Password reset, pass codes not be received. It is clearly me on the blog. I cannot find any verification ID stuff from that long ago. Any remaining options?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You are simply logged in to the wrong account. Log out from current and log in again to the account ownng that site https://wordpress.com/forums/users/gregiej/

  Thanks. Agreed. That should be the course of action. I have been unable to. That should work, but it doesn’t, and emails are not being received across any email account for a password reset or passcode.

  Leave a comment on that site and check all of your email addressess, also the spam, to find out what email address is connected to that account.

  You must understand wordpress.com has a very strict policy regarding account recovery. You have to proof one way or another you are the rightfull owner – https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#verify-your-account-ownership

  I guess what I really need to know is which email address is associated with the account and why recovery emails are not being received. Is that a functionality glitch? Welcome help.

  That was a clever thought. I left a comment on the blog, yet didn’t get an email notification about that either.
