How do I remove a site from my list of blogs?

  • Unknown's avatar

    On the “My Blogs” list for my WordPress.com there’s a blog listed there that doesn’t exist anymore:
    http://www.amysansfrontieres.net

    How can I remove it?

    Incidentally, my site is showing up on someone else’s list of “My Blogs” who is not a user on my site. We can’t figure out why this is happening, but I would like for my site to be deleted from his list (and anyone else’s it might be hanging out on)–I submitted a security issue on that, but I haven’t heard back from anyone about it yet. How can he remove it, and is there a way that you can see if my blog is mysteriously popping up on anyone else’s account? I only have one user on my self-hosted site, so it’s really flummoxing that someone else’s account got linked to my personal, self-hosted site through WordPress.com. Here’s my site URL:
    http://www.alexisclements.com

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

    The blog you specified at http://www.amysansfrontieres.net does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.

    This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

    If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

    If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

    In reply to the automated message, yes, I know that it’s not a hosted account but it’s showing up on my WordPress.com list of My Blogs and I can’t get rid of it.

    Also, the other issue is of some concern as well.

    I have the same issues.

    I have some old self hosted blogs on my wordpress.com account.

    I want to clean up my wordpress.com account by removing these old accounts. The old self hosted accounts have been deleted a long time ago but still show up on my wordpress.com account.

    I do know it has something to do with using the wordpress.com plugin on self host accounts.

    But for the love of God! I can’t remove them from wordpress.com account!

    I see this posted everywhere and no answer! WordPress will say post this on wordpress.org and wordpress.org will tell you to post this on wordpress.com

    Endless loop of irritation! Maybe someone will share a fix?

    I’m sorry you had to go through that. It’s crazymaking.

    Thanks timethief for your help.

    As I my first post notes, the URL for the old/dead blog I want to get off of my own account is:
    http://www.amysansfrontieres.net

    However, I’m also concerned, as I noted above, that my own personal self-hosted site (www.alexisclements.com) is appearing on someone else’s list of My Blogs and I never made them a user, nor did I give them access to my site. Needless to say I’m concerned that WordPress.com is giving other users access to my self-hosted site (or any site for that matter), and I want to sort out why that happened and also have my site removed from anyone else’s list of blogs who is not me.

    Thanks again for your help bringing this to the attention of the WordPress folks.

    To reiterate:

    “I’m also concerned, as I noted above, that my own personal self-hosted site (www.alexisclements.com) is appearing on someone else’s list of My Blogs and I never made them a user, nor did I give them access to my site.

    There are no users connected to that site anymore, only you were the one that was connected.

    Let us know if you need any further assistance :)

    Okay, just emailed with the person who had it attached to his account and it looks like he had support remove it on a separate ticket this morning.

    I still don’t understand how he got access to my site in the first place. How is it possible that someone who isn’t a user on my self-hosted site could end up with access to my site on their WordPress.com list of blogs? Removing it is great, but understanding how and why it happened in the first place would be better for everyone.

    Thanks,
    Alexis

    The other user was connected to alexisclements.com about 4 weeks ago. It’s possible that he/she did got access to your self-hosted site. Please let us know if you need any further assistance!

    But how did they get access to my self-hosted site when I didn’t make them a user?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I don’t know. We’re only able to control accounts and blogs at WordPress.com. Best might be to change the password of your self-hosted account to prevent this from happening again.

    To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

    Please check out the following links to learn the differences.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
