  I would like to find out more about merging an old blog with cleverblackbird.wordpress.com, but I am having log-in issues. (I’ve worked w/ a WP tech about that.) Is it possible to disable the “old” blog so that it can no longer be read? Is that choice reversible as the creator of both sites?

  Thank you, and Thanksgiving blessings to you,
  Caitlin May

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

  If the blog is on WordPress.COM then set the old site to Private – nothing is lost but nobody can see it

  Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading >> Set blog visible to only those I invite

  I can’t log into the old one. I no longer have access to the email associated with it in order to reset my password.

  As you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and if required click “Need More Help?” to recover the account. Then you can set it to private or delete it as you wish.

  To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.
