Failed transfer

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, we tried to transfer a site from one WordPress account to another. It was gone from the sender account. However, the recipient account did not receive the confirmation email from WordPress because it was rejected by their security system. How can we retrieve the site in this case? Thank you!

    Site: (email visible only to moderators and staff).
    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Unknown

  • Hello there,

    Many thanks for reaching out.

    Can you confirm the URL of site please?

    Also, can you confirm the recipient username please?

    Many thanks.

    hello there,

    The site is stse.la and the recipient username is Laosco (this account). Thank you.

  • Hi there,

    I just checked and it looks like the site was transferred fro the original account to a different WordPress.com account than the one you are contacting from Laosco. Was that the intent? If not, to get this sorted, we’ll need the original owner of the account to post in this thread, and we can look further into this issue for them.

    Thanks,

    Hi, I transferred this account, but to the wrong username. Please help us to sort this out! Thanks!

  • Hi there,

    You need to contact the account you transferred the site to and ask them to transfer it to the correct account.

    Hi there,

    stsela who posted up there is the account that transferred the site stse.la. The site has gone from their account so they cannot re-transfer it. It was supposed to be transfered to our account (laosco) but stsela transferred it to the wrong account (planlaos). Can you please kindly advise how to sort this out exactly? This has been very confusing with the three comments from three different staff at WordPress. Please read the whole thread of exchange. Thank you!

    Stsela, who is the original owner of the site, has posted on this thread as requested by Darnelldibbles above.

  • Hello there,

    Many thanks for that information.

    It was supposed to be transfered to our account (laosco) but stsela transferred it to the wrong account (planlaos).

    In order to bring this to a resolve you would need to contact new owner of the site, and they would need to transfer the site back to the intended account.

    They would need to follow these instructions: https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

    I hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    Sorry that it is very confusing here. “Stsela” (the former owner of the site) transferred it to the wrong username (“Planlaos”) but with the right email address ((email visible only to moderators and staff)). The right username associated with this email address is “Laosco”. We have never received the confirmation email sent to (email visible only to moderators and staff) because it was blocked by our security system.

  • The owner of the site is now @planlaos. Only that user can transfer the site to the correct account. So, you need to get in touch with them.

    Also, note that the email address you mentioned is associated with your account (@laosco) and not with @planlaos

    Yes, @laosco. How do we know @planlaos info, e.g email address we can contact them for transfer back to our account.
    Thank you.

  • @stsela was the previous site owner that transferred the site over to @planlaos, so they should know how to reach out to them.
