Can't delete defunct site linked to WP.com

  • Unknown's avatar

    Awhile ago I opened a test site using WP.org software on a web server I purchased. I “linked” it to my WP.com account using the JetPack plugin. The site on the web server is no longer active, but is still linked to my WP.com account (apparently because I never “unlinked” it in the JetPack software). Now I have a “ghost” blog under my WP.com account that I can no longer access, or delete, from my WP.com account, because the linked JetPack blog on my web server no longer exists. I uninstalled WordPress from that server entirely.

    Is there a way I can unlink it? Should I reinstall WordPress on my server, create a “dummy” blog just like it with the same name, install the JetPack plugin on that dummy site, and then unlink that site from my WP.com account? Is there another way of doing so or is this impossible to do?

    Staff will have to do it for you. Please give the URL of the blog in question here and they will take care of it.

    It’s a really weird one. The domain attempts to create a “fake secure” site by proxying through an Argentinian host. It’s a hack from another WP plugin I had then used, known as HTTPS SSL Free:

    http://wordpress.org/plugins/https-ssl-free/

    That, obviously, is not the URL of the defunct blog. The URL for the defunct blog is

    http://blogs_elizabethsebastian_com.1.com.ar/pop-psych/

    Any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated.
