Domain name expired

  • Unknown's avatar

    So if my domain name renewed automatically for the last 4 years why didn’t it renew automatically again? My bank details haven’t changed.

  • Looks like that the credit card connected to your account has expired and that’s the reasons it hasn’t auto-renewed this year.

    Well at least now I know which account to look in I’ll go through it tomorrow

    Sound good. You also mentioned that you are logged into shanajamesartist on your iPad is that correct? If you’re not using the app and instead logged into the browser, you’ll be able to visit the link to this thread with your iPad to post as the account owner.

    Otherwise, if you know the password for shanajamesartist you may sign out from your desktop by going to https://wordpress.com/me and clicking the “Sign Out” button then log back in as shanajamesartist and visit this thread to start the restoration process.

    No I cannot log in as shanajamesartist, when I try to the system reroutes me as ubudartworkshops this is the crux of the problem because I cannot get a new password for the username shanajamesartist when I type it in it changes itself to the new username.

    Can you tell me the last 3 numbers of the card the previous payments have come from? I have combed through 2 separate accounts and cannot find anything!

    If I at least knew which bank account they had come from it might help.

    Hi there,

    No I cannot log in as shanajamesartist, when I try to the system reroutes me as ubudartworkshops this is the crux of the problem because I cannot get a new password for the username shanajamesartist when I type it in it changes itself to the new username.

    Before attempting to log in make sure you’re signed out of all other WordPress.com account. You may even want to try a new browser or private browser window. Once you’re logged out of all other accounts you may log in at https://wordpress.com/log-in

    Can you tell me the last 3 numbers of the card the previous payments have come from? I have combed through 2 separate accounts and cannot find anything!

    For security reasons we cannot confirm payment information, however, you may use the following site to help you locate the charge:

    Why was I charged?

    Ok this is what I have done to date:
    I have searched 3 bank accounts and my paypal and cannot find any transaction that could be to WordPress

    I have logged out from WordPress and reset my password for the user name shanajamesartist associated with the domain http://Www.ubudartworkshops.com I was emailed and appeared to change the password but when I tried to log in Using that username and password it said incorrect password even though I had changed it less than a minute before. I see this because it is no longer attached to the website?

    Is there no other way for you to verify my identity to send me the payment code to pay for this lapsed domain?

    My only other option at this point is to buy a new domain and wait for the other one to go back into the public realm and hopefully repurchase it. This will have a negative impact on my business so if there is any other way please tell me.

  • @ubudartworkshops220318 sorry this is frustrating for you.

    If you can find the transaction ID from last year (remember this would have been in June) that would likely be easiest at this point. The charge will likely say wpchrg.com on it, so you can search for that rather than having to comb through transactions. If you find the ID let us know and we’ll reach out via email.

    I was emailed and appeared to change the password but when I tried to log in Using that username and password it said incorrect password even though I had changed it less than a minute before. I see this because it is no longer attached to the website?

    – Is that the first time you were able to reset the password for that username, or have you repeatedly successfully changed it only to be locked out again? I’m wondering if it would help to view the password as you change it, then copy it so you can enter it when you log in again.

    – Can you confirm which address you’re checking when you reset the password?

    I have already searched in June through 3 bank accounts for WPCHG.com and cannot find how it was paid!

    That was the first time I had successfully changed my password , as beforehand it was defaulting to a different user name and I didn’t know I had to log out first. Once I had logged out it appeared to change but didn’t work. I will try that one more time now.

    OMG I have found it I have found the charge in my Bank statement!

    Now What do I do?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have replied to that email with my transaction ID, that was the right thing to do, wasn’t it? It said not to post it here so I’m assuming reply email is the way you ish to receive it ? If that is not right let me know
