  I have a client that has an old wordpress.com blog that they believe may have been started by an employee back in 2013. It doesn’t have accurate information regarding the companies current procedures, etc. It has old company logos, contact information, etc. They would like to have it removed as to know cause any confusion for customers. What is the best way to accomplish this without knowing the blog’s original owner?

  Hi @getrouty, I would email passwordhelp@wordpress.com with a link to the site and any information you have about who might have owned it before. We can’t just shut down sites without any proof of ownership, so if you can provide any of these details, please do:
