How to recover a deleted account.
-
I had an account that I used only for Gravatar. I deleted it for error. In the documentation they say, it can be restored within 30 days [https://wordpress.com/support/close-account/#account-restoration] if you get in contact. However it doesn’t specify where to contact.
I also found a recovery form [https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery] however it is asking me for a blog URL that I don’t have, since the account was used only for the Gravatar service.
Does somebody know how to recover an account that has no Blog associated with it?
Thank youI don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

Hi @andreatrakea, you should have an email confirming your account closure. If you have that, please reply to it asking to have the account restored.
If not, can you tell us the old gravatar username so we can dig into this further? Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
That username was changed from
nbl7tonbl7a– changing a username and deleting an account are two different things, and we can only reverse an account closure, not a username change.After the username change deleted the new
nbl7ausername, and we can still restore that for you. If you want to restore thenbl7ausername, please reply to the confirmation email we sent you when you deleted that account.But the original username that was deleted via a username change,
nbl7, cannot be restored. If a username is deleted via a username change, that’s immediate and permanent. -
Hello @kokkieh and thanks for your response.
Ok, so what I wanted to do is to use the username
nbl7with a new email.So first I changed the username to
nbl7a. Howevernbl7was still not available.
Then I deleted the account. And again the usernamenbl7is still not available.So how can I use the username
nbl7with a new account?
That is all I wanted at the end.Thank you

I’m afraid that’s not possible. You deleted that username via a username change, which immediately and permanently disabled it. That username can never be used again on WordPress.com by anyone, including you.
