  How does one contact WordPress to make their website functional again? There is no phone number, no chat, nothing to contact WordPress in getting my domain back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Could you please provide us with the website address where you would like to redeem?

  I’ve also flagged this for staff attention.

  Thanks for your patience while the staff gets back to you.

  Thank You. :)

  @mabplana: We replied to your earlier thread about your domain bendblindco.com.

  Your domain expired on 2022-08-28 and is currently in the redemption period:

  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

  We can still try to recover the domain but you will need to pay an $80 redemption fee in addition to the regular $18 domain renewal cost. If you agree, I can send a payment request and contact our domain registrar once it has been paid.

  Thanks!

  Sure thing, Mark. I have sent a form your way via email for $98. Once we hear back from you that it’s been paid we can proceed with the redemption process and notifying the registrar. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days, but it could take a bit longer headed in to the weekend.
