  I cancelled my Yahoo account for my business website, which linked to my WordPress.com blog. When I changed host to Wix, my blog is deactivated. It still shows up in search engines, but can’t be opened. My log in and password doesn’t let me into the blog. WordPress say’s it doesn’t exist.

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

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. Also note that the URL removal tool https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1269119?hl=en cannot be used to clear up cruft and all search engine issues are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  My old blog URL is marvins-garden.com/blog
  The name was Chicken Soup for the Soil. I can pull it up in google, but can’t open it. WordPress has it listed in my blogs but I can’t access it. Tje log in and user name is not recognized since I switched hosts and uploaded a new website. Same address. marvins-garden.com

  Thanks! It was 10 years of posts!

  We provide support at WordPress.com only for free hosted WordPress.com blogs. http://www.marvins-garden.com/blog is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog and we do not provide support for it.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have separate logins. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  P.S. If that site is hosted by Wix.com then you ought to be contacting their support people not us.
