  I had two blogs before and both of them were deleted. Is there a chance to use the deleted wordpress domains?

  The two deleted blogs: 
  – gergosenglishclub.wordpress.com 
  – ubulvilaga.wordpress.com

  I’d like to use them again. Is it possible?

  Hi there:

  We note that when you delete your site, deleting a site permanently removes it, and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address. We also can only restore them if they were deleted within the past 30 days.

  It looks like you were already being helped with this via email and both blogs were restored to your account. If you have further questions, please direct them to that email.

  Otherwise, you should be all set now!

  Thanks! I haven’t seen they were restored, but I’m so thankful. Only a question I have left. The blog of ubulvilaga.wordpress.com is private and can’t see the settings to make it public.

  You’re welcome! :)

  To change the privacy settings for that site, follow the steps here to mark the site from private to public:

  I hope that helps!

  Thanks! But unfortunately it doesn’t work. “Settings” aren’t available.

  Hi there,

  It looks like the site was not added back to your account with the correct permissions. I have addressed this, and you should now see more options in your admin dashboard, including access to settings.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
