  I have two wordpress accounts and wish to close one of them down. The one I wish to close has sites and posts that I do not want deleted. Both of the accounts are admins on the site. Will all the posts be deleted still or will they remain?

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

  Hi there,

  If you close a WordPress.com account all of its sites will be deleted as well. Therefore, before deleting your account follow this guide on how to transfer ownership of those sites to your other account:

  If this doesn’t work or you have more questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

  I’ve decided instead of closing the account down to instead change the email address associated with the account, and it says that there is a pending change and that I should go to the inbox of the new account and click on a confirmation link from an email I will receive. I’ve waited for about a day, but still have not received an email.

  I’m not sure if this is normal and I should wait a bit longer or if there’s a problem.

  @travisraviyendran what is the account username and email? The email address will automatically be redacted from everyone but staff, so you can go ahead and share it here.

  Hi @travisraviyendran, the email you want to change it to is already in use on the other account, so we can’t make that change until the email on that other account is changed to one that has not been used here.

  If you can do that, we can then change the email for you.
