Deleting my blog and getting another one back issues

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I’ve been using wordpress for a few years now but recently I’ve having trouble solving some deleting issues.
    I want to delete one of my blogs (http://gaminggeek.wordpress.com), but whenever I try to do it the confirmation e-mail doesn’t arrive. I find it very odd giving that I already deleted another blog of mine a few weeks ago and the email arrived instantly.

    About the other issue. Some years ago an investor of mine paid for a full-fledged version of one of my blogs (www.gatogordito.wordpress.com) and the name was just http://www.gatogordito.com. Now I think he forgot to pay or something and, I don’t know why, that page is a generic site and I can’t get into its dashboard. It’s really annoying because I really want to get it back and I worked really hard on that site. I had a lot of content there.

    Can anybody help me please? I really don’t know what to do…

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

    Hi there, I’d be happy to help with the issues you mentioned:

    I want to delete one of my blogs (http://gaminggeek.wordpress.com), but whenever I try to do it the confirmation e-mail doesn’t arrive.

    The confirmation email for deleting a blog is sent to the email address listed under Settings > General in the blog’s dashboard. You may want to check that setting to make sure it lists the correct email address.

    If you still don’t receive the confirmation email, please let me know and I can help you delete the blog. Keep in mind that deleting a blog is permanent and you won’t be able to use that blog address again in the future.

    Some years ago an investor of mine paid for a full-fledged version of one of my blogs (www.gatogordito.wordpress.com) and the name was just http://www.gatogordito.com. Now I think he forgot to pay or something and, I don’t know why, that page is a generic site and I can’t get into its dashboard.

    Your WordPress.com site is still available at this address: http://gatogordito.wordpress.com/

    You can access the dashboard at this address: https://gatogordito.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    The domain name gatogordito.com isn’t registered through us, so unfortunately there isn’t anything we can do to help you with that domain. You can view the publicly available information about the current domain owner here:

    http://who.is/whois/gatogordito.com

    From our records, it looks like you may have used this domain with a self-hosted WordPress.org website, in which case your website’s content was hosted by another website hosting provider (not WordPress.com). If that was the case, you will need to contact that hosting provider to try to recover any additional website content.

    Please let me know if I can provide any further help with these issues!

    Thank you so much for your answer.

    Yes, please erase gammingeek.wordpress.com. About the other issues, I’ll talk to the guy who used to pay us to sort it out.

    It’s great to be in a community where real people respond your concerns and no some bots. Keep it up.
