Forums / Cannot recover my account – Transaction and receipt IDs are not working

Cannot recover my account – Transaction and receipt IDs are not working

    Hello! I recently realized that I’ve forgotten the email address associated with one of our company’s WordPress sites. However, I do have a transaction ID and a receipt ID since we have access to incoming invoices.

    Each time I try to recover the account by providing these IDs, I receive an error message stating: “The receipt does not appear to be valid.” I’ve double-checked and entered the IDs correctly, but the issue persists.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have two-factor authentication enabled, nor do I have an activation URL or key.

    Is there any way I can recover the account using the information I do have? I’d appreciate any guidance you can provide.

    Thank you!

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

    This involves staff help. I have tagged this thread for staff attention, and I think they will be in touch over email because of the sensitive nature of this discussion.

    Hi there, hopefully you’ve gotten an email, but if not, could you provide some more information.

    Is eq-elipse.com the site in question? If not, please mention the relevant site URL so we can make sure that you are inquiring in the correct place. Thanks.

    I had this issue recently when I tried to recover an account. I kept trying and realised I was entering the reference instead of the transaction ID. It said “WORDPRESS” and then the transaction ID. I hope it helps.
