  Hi,

  Almost a decade ago, I’ve stop blogging and somehow in moving to google mail for good, I’ve closed my primary email linked to my previous blog.

  I need to close the blog for personal reasons. Would I still be able to do so?

  Please help. Thanks.
  J.

  Hi –

  Yes, you can close the blog. In order to do that you’ll need to gain access to the original account. Have you already submitted the account recovery form?

  That is here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

  What is the site in question?

  Hi Lizkarkoski,

  I cannot submit the account recovery form because I do not have any of the 3 criteria necessary to submit the form.

  Are there other ways for me to close the blog? I wouldn’t mind if wordpress.com does it for me. Thank you.

  Hi jaesota,

  Without access to the account email address or proof of ownership, we won’t be able to help for security reasons. I appreciate you want to recover the site but this is the only information we can accept.

  What is the address of the site you are referring to?
