Did I delete my blog? It's still live but I can't access WP Admin
-
Hi all,
Hope you can help me here. I had a couple of blogs set up over time on my same emaill address and I went to do a clean out of them deleting the olds ones that I never got set up with – but I seemed to have deleted them all?
IrishFoodDiary is the blog I wanted to concentrate on – I bought the domain name. when I type irishfooddiary.com into my browser the site still appears however when I try and access the WP admin editing site it tells me that the autors have deleted this site.
Is the blog gone??? Can I still use the domain name I bought on another blog? What should be my next step?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
As you noted, irishfooddiary.wordpress.com has been deleted, but irishfooddiary.com is still mapped to it. I think you may need a WordPress.com staff member to help out with this one so I’ve tagged this for their attention. -
Are you using this URL for the dashboard: http://irishfooddiary.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
I am not seeing that the site is deleted.

Hi guys thanks so much for your assistance!
Rootjosh when I click on that link it say irishfooddiary.wordpress.com is no longer available. the authors have deleted this site.
But if i click the new post button on the right hand side it then lets me in to publish a new post? So maybe i’ts not deleted. I’m just confused as to why I try log-in the wordpress/wp-admin it keeps telling me that the site is deleted, but it’s not?

Yes that is exactly what I see. I’ve also tried to post to irishfooddiary.com and that comes up every time. However I’ve just been able to post to irishfooddiary.wordpress.com and the post went live on that site – but that for some reason isn’t linked to the domain I bought (irishfooddiary.com )

From what I can tell https://irishfooddiary.wordpress.com/ was indeed deleted. However, it shouldn’t be possible to keep a custom domain and also delete a blog—there are protections in place to try to prevent that, but it seems something may have gotten mixed up in this case and I am not sure why.
One solution I can think of is that you start a new blog and then I can move the irishfooddiary.com domain mapping to the new one for you. Would that work for you?

I think I might be able to make that work. This is a really odd case! Let me see what I can do and I’ll reply back here as soon as I know more.

I think I’ve got it working, and even using the old address!
Can you please check here?
https://irishfooddiary.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.phpIf that looks good, then let’s stick with that one and get rid of the irishfooddiaryblog blog and I can help you transfer the one post you added there to the other blog if needed. Can you let me know?

THAT WORKED!!! Oh my God – I can’t believe that worked!?!
It works when I use the URL irishfooddiary.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
but Not when I use: irishfooddiary.wordpress.com/wp-admin
Does that mean I just need to add the /edit.php everytime I want to access the editing suite on the backend?
AGAIN THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS!!
-
Yay!
I think https://irishfooddiary.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ should work. Can you try clearing browser cache and then log back in and try it again?

IT WORKEDDDDD!!
You’re an absolute angel!! AHH .. I’m so excited! Thank you so much for your help.
Last thing .. Is there an easy way to take my last blog post from the other blog an put it back on my original blog?
-
Actually I managed to use the export/import tool! Super easy feature!
I can’t believe you fixed everything for me!
Thank you to everyone who helped resolve my problem!!

Yes, go to WP Admin > Tools > Export in the other blog and then WP Admin > Tools > Import on the original one. Then check to make sure everything still looks good.
Your blog looks awesome!! I love the Cubic theme… :)
