Close/Delete Blog Help
-
Hi all,
I am trying to delete/close my blog permanently, but I get this message when trying to do so:
“Warning! You cannot delete a blog if the blog has a domain registration upgrade. You must have access to the blog in order to get to the domain manager.”
What are the steps I need to do to get around this to finally end my blog.
Thanks,
Joe
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Just set the blog to private at settings > privacy. No one will be able to see it or access it so it is as if it is deleted. That way you still have access to the domain management stuff for the domain name.

I set it to private for the time being, but I want to completely delete it, like a Facebook profile. I believe I have to pay X amount of money per year to keep the site up and if I am done with it, I am essentially just throwing money down the drain by keeping it around (even under private viewership).

You pay for the domain name registration & domain mapping ( $ 17– year if you don’t have the privacy upgrade) – your registration runs through July 2012 so if the domain mapping and domain name are the same no additional charge until then – the base blog is free no charge at all – so you can just set the renew option for your mapping and domain registration to “don’t renew” and in July of 2012 things will just revert back to your base blog – and as long as the blog is set to Private nobody can read your rants (some were quite funny BTW) – –
A couple of comedians have came through the forum and they used their blog to get their name out in the world a bit –
Anyway – just turn off the auto-renew and you should have no more charges and your base WordPress.COM blog name should just set there waiting in case you ever want it again
