  I have a client who is the owner of venhaconosco.wordpress.com. But we have a problem, the web designer who created the blog died a long time ago and did not give to my client the information to access. The blog has become an outdated site that has conflicting information with the current management of the organization. Is there a way to exclude this blog?

  Hi there,

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address.

  The blog’s owner can transfer blog ownership of any blog and transfer upgrades to another WordPress.COM username account and associated email address by making them an official user of the blogs ie. an Admin first, and then using this process https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account

  In the case you outline above that is not possible. Please see here for what can be done https://en.support.wordpress.com/deceased-user/

  Also as you failed to post the URL I want you to be keenly aware that this is the WordPress.COM support forum and what I posted above does NOT apply to WordPress.ORG software installs.

  We provide support only for sites hosted by WordPress.COM that if site is not one of them then you have posted to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If that is the case and if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
