changing back to wordpress.com after being on a hosted platform
-
I am going back to salonpostisme.wordpress.com after my hosting site subscription expired. I am also going to let the domain name, salonpostisme.com expire. In the meantime, I want to build my site on salonpostisme.wordpress.com. But I cannot access the admin page. When I click the red button with !, it says “This account cannot be accessed. I’d like to fix this now.” When I click the option to fix, it appears to be blocked by Jetpack. I would disable Jetpack but I stop when I see this statement: The site is now removed from your WordPress.com account and will no longer appear under your My Sites page.
I don’t understand that. It sounds like I will no longer be able to access salonpostisme.wordpress.com if I click that button.
Please help me regain control of my site! Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
It looks like there isn’t a WordPress.com site with the address salonpostisme.wordpress.com.
You have a free WordPress.com site at this address: https://ficticities.wordpress.com.
The other site you see on your WordPress.com dashboard is your self-hosted WordPress.org site (that used the domain salonpostisme.com).
That site was hosted elsewhere, and it shows up on your WordPress.com dashboard because you connected it to your account using the Jetpack plugin. But the actual site isn’t hosted here so you can’t actually access the site on our end. I’ve removed the Jetpack connection since the site no longer exists.
Can you tell us what you’d like to do going forward? Do you want to create a new WordPress.com site? And do you want to use the domain salonpostisme.com on your new site?
You’ll want a WordPress.com plan to use your own domain. The WordPress.com personal plan is a great starting point to use your own domain and remove ads from your site.
Of course, we can suggest better once we have a better understanding of what you’d like to do going forward. So please let us know about that, and we’ll guide you further.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for your assistance!
My goal is to have a free site called salonpostisme.wordpress.com. I no longer wish to have a site host nor to have a paid domain name.
I am very surprised to learn that salonpostisme.wordpress.com does not exist. I thought that had been created when I started; I even have an API key for it. But as I created the site with a host, I obviously was wrong.
Is it possible to have a site with the name salonpostisme.wordpress.com? I feel fairly certain there would not be another site with that name!
Please let me know how to proceed. I truly do appreciate your help.

Hi there!
Your WordPress.com account username is salonpostisme, but it appears the site with the same name was never really created. Do you want to create a new site with this address, or do you want to change the ficticities.wordpress.com to salonpostisme.wordpress.com?

I would like to create a new site with the address salonpostisme.wordpress.com. Is this possible?
Thank you!
-
AND I would like to leave ficticities.wordpress.com just as it is–I do NOT want to change that at all. Thanks!

Hi there, @salonpostisme!
Thanks for confirming.
The site address you are wanting to use is available. To get started, you can create a new site at https://wordpress.com/start
From there, you will be prompted to select a domain. You will want to search for salonpostisme.wordpress.com and select that option, as seen here in this screenshot:
Let me know if you have any questions!
