  I haven’t used wordpress in a long time, but recently discovered that there is still an active site under my name: https://luerig.wordpress.com/

  I would like to remove it, but when I log in the site doesn’t appear – so I don’t seem to have control over it any more . What’s going on here?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

  Hi there!

  That site was created in 2013 by a different WordPress.com user account than the one you’re currently logged into, so you would need to log into that account to manage that site.

  If you don’t remember the login, you would need to go through the account recovery process to prove ownership of the site.

  However, you wouldn’t have the necessary proof to prove ownership without any transaction information. So you’ll need to send an email to passwordhelp (at) wordpress (dot) com explaining the situation, and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do for you.

  Thanks!
