    I’ve been searching for answers for several days now. no one seems to want to tell us how to do this. I DO NOT want my credit card charged. This is pathetic.

    Your issue is not the same. Go to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-start-over-3?replies=17#post-2195296 and post there only.

    I’ve disconnected http://www.economicmethods.com from your WordPress.com account. Please let me know if you need anything else.

    I am trying to delete my WP site because I don’t have the energy to maintain it. When I try to delete site, the WP responds with “contact the domain manager”. But that link leads to nowhere. Whom do I need to contact to remove this site? For now it is private only. http://www.tangibledesignexpressions.com. Thank you! Jennifer

    @jenniferhartnetthenderson

    The problem is you can’t delete a site while it has a custom domain attached to it. You can see your options for how to disconnect the domain from your site here:

    Delete a Website

    Please let me know if you have any questions about that!

    Hi Liz, thanks for the links. Let’s see, I don’t want to transfer the domain name http://www.tangibledesignexpressions.com to my other blog http://www.jenniferhartnetthenderson.wordpress.com. I don’t have another user to transfer the domain name to. So I guess I need to contact my domain name service provider and tell them not to renew the domain name. Does that sound like the right path to get the domain name removed? I’ve already made the content private so that part is taken care of. Thank you! Jennifer

    Hi Jennifer,

    If you are sure you don’t want the domain http://www.tangibledesignexpressions.com now or in the near future, I can also cancel it for you.

    I just need you to confirm that canceling the domain is what you want, and that you understand you may not be able to get it back later.

    Once I receive confirmation, I’ll cancel the domain and you’ll be able to proceed.

    Hi Liz,

    Thank you so much for offering to help me with this. Yes, I do not want http://www.tangibledesignexpressions.com now or in the future. It was a good idea but I don’t have the passion for it that I thought I did. Thanks again for helping me cancel the domain! It helps me start my New Year with a tighter focus. Jennifer

    Hi,

    I would also like to delete my site http://jaysports.net. Could anyone help me? I understand that I would have to cancel my domain and that would remove my blog forever. Thanks so much in advance!

    Hi Liz, thank you very much! I am now trying to delete my site using the instructions at the link above. However, there is no “Tools” option on my new menu. It goes Sharing / Users / Settings / Upgrades. There is no Tools. Where should I be looking? The menu doesn’t look like the one in help. Thanks! Jennifer

    Hi Liz, I finally figured out where the tools menu is housed. I have to go to the site address first and click on the globe. It’s not accessible from the wordpress.com menu that I use. Thanks for all your help and patience! Happy New Year!

    Hi Liz, you seem to be the go to person here, so here goes.

    My domain expired, realestatnewsandviews.com, and I seem to be in that no man’s land of not being able to renew. I added another domain to point to my blog, realestatenewsandviews.wordpress.com, but I guess the blog is tied into realestatnewsandviews.com so we can’t add any posts or read the blog.

    What are my options and thanks

    Hi hamiltonburlingtonrealestate

    I’m happy to help you with this, but your question is really different than the others in this thread, so if you could start a new thread I’ll answer your question there.

    Here’s the link you need to start a new thread:

    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1

    If you add the “modlook” tag to your new post I (or one of our other Happiness Engineers) will see it.

    Thanks!
