  I created a blog on WordPress around 2014 using a Gmail account. Due to work commitments, and especially because I was managing several other personal blogs, I stopped updating that WordPress blog. Since the blog was inactive, I naturally stopped logging into the registered email account as well. Around 2015—I don’t recall the exact date—I remember receiving a notification from Google stating that my account was scheduled for deletion. At the time, I assumed my account had been hacked. Having had bad experiences with hacking before, I simply accepted the loss of the email account as a common occurrence.

  Only recently did I realize that I lost that Gmail account due to inactivity. That mistake has caused me to lose access to the personal blog I started on WordPress.

  I have already tried filling out the recovery form. The problem is, since I lost the email account a long time ago—before two-factor authentication or modern authentication codes were standard—I do not have the credentials requested by the WordPress system.

  The authentic proof of ownership I hold consists of the files on my hard drive, the blog designs I created in CorelDRAW, the Word documents of the uploaded content, and similar materials.

  Please advise me on how I can regain access to the blog I created.

  Thank you for your response.
