  How can I access my wordpress site, without access to the old email address associated with it. I do not remember the password.

  Hey there, could you send a link to the site you’re trying to access?

  If the site is hosted here on our servers this may help:

  Recover Your Account

  Basically you’d need to provide one of those proofs of ownership. You could also try to regain access to the email address, then just reset the password that way.

  Or, for your own copy of WordPress with a different host, ask your host for help with this:

  @supernovia Thanks it’s http://www.onceuponatimetales.wordpress.com

  The account was set up long ago.
  I do not have these official things you ask for.
  When the account was created there was not all this carryon.

  If you look up my name or google (email visible only to moderators and staff) which was my old email address you will see it and me all over the internet.
  That is the proof that the email address is mine.
