Having trouble finding the delete site button under Tools
-
Basically, I’m planning on moving this site over to another platform soon and I’m having trouble finding the delete site button. I looked under your help forums and saw that there should be a delete option under tools however I’m having trouble finding it. I’m not sure if this is a permissions thing or what have you. Thanks for your time!

You can’t delete a site with a custom domain like yours (http://pdxcomedyblog.com/).
I’m on the Delete Site page, but I see a message that the site can’t be deleted.
You will not be able to delete your site if you’ve purchased a custom domain for it. This is because you need to keep the WordPress.com site active in order to access the domain manager. -

Your WordPress.com user account, dannyfelts, doesn’t own the site pdxcomedyblog.wordpress.com or the Domain Mapping Upgrade associated with it.
Only the owner of the site can delete it.
