  Why is the delete blog button not working?

  Hi @caribdiaries, your site was previously on a business plan, so the downgrade is a bit more complex.

  We must confirm that you understand:

  1. Any content (pages, posts, media, comments, etc) added after adding outside themes and plugins will be lost.

  2. Any custom content created by plugins and themes will not be carried over.

  3. Plugins and third-party themes can no longer be used.

  4. The site will revert to using the old theme.

  Please make backups, and ensure you have your content ready to re-upload if needed. Then, send the site address to confirm. I assume if you’re deleting it, this stuff won’t matter, but we want to be sure since we won’t be able to get it back.

  Thanks!

  Just paste the site URL into your reply, together with the confirmation you’re okay with losing content.
