  I accidentally created ‘Third Generation Removed’ under two extensions. I believe one is simply wordpress.com, the other is blog.wordpress.com I had more graphics on the first one I created, but I wound up completely confusing myself, losing passwords, etc. It’s a mess! Lol. So, I need to eliminate one of the duplicates, and make sure I have the password(s) AND extensions straight.

  Site: https://thirdgenerationremovedblog.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The only site under the account you’re currently logged in with is https://thirdgenerationremovedblog.wordpress.com/

  What is the URL of the other site you’re trying to access?

  I created both blogs under WordPress. Neither one is hosted elsewhere. I can’t remember the name of both URLs or I wouldn’t be here. I only know for sure that “Third Generation Removed” is in the URL address somewhere. I did change my email between the period I created the original blog and created the new one using my new email address. You see where this is getting to be a mess? I don’t even know if I already deleted the other page.

  Is https://thirdgenerationremoved.wordpress.com/ maybe the site you’re trying to access?

  Yay! Yes it is! So now what? I need to delete one of them.

  Ok, that site belongs to a different account here, not the one you’re currently logged in under.

  If you do not recall the password for the correct account, we have some options for you at https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/

  I can recall the old email, but it’s no longer active. Let me see if I can make it work.

  The account recovery options don’t seem to be what I’m looking for.

  The account recovery options don’t seem to be what I’m looking for.

  Could you provide a little more detail about how the account recovery options aren’t what you are looking for?

  And could you tell us which site URL you would prefer to have your site live at moving forward?

  thirdgenerationremovedblog.wordpress.com
  –or–
  thirdgenerationremoved.wordpress.com

  Thanks!
