I host a blog that has been associated with this account. How do I unassociate it?

  My (personally hosted, on my own personal colocated server) blog’s connection with this account is apparently irretrievably broken, and that means that Jetpack is completely broken and doing horrible things to my site. I can delete jetpack, but then when I try to reinstall it, it just continues to be horribly broken.

  I’d like to remove the association between wordpress.com and my blog, so that I can try to remake it and see if that will help. However, there seems to be no way to do that short of removing my entire account, at which point I am not allowed to create another one. Because of course there isn’t and because of course I’m not.

  Of course I’d love some support for Jetpack, but apparently you only get that if you pay for it, and Jetpack doesn’t provide me with nearly enough value for me to actually pay, especially given the tradeoff in privacy. And the fact that it NEVER worked properly, and required about six hours of extensive site rebuilding when I tried turning on the image caching.

  Should I just give up on jetpack AND wordpress.com altogether and go with alternative plugins and delete this account?

  God I wish I’d gone with Movable Type back in 2009 when I started my blogging. Yes, it has its own problems, but I have probably spent several hundred hours of my life trying to get WordPress to do the things that it ADVERTISES that it does, and hundreds more trying to customize it. All for a cute-dogs web site.

  Hello @adamlang

  You can manage the jetpack connection of the self-hosted site and WordPress.com in the jetpack connected services section on the WP Admin of the self-hosted site https://snipboard.io/mZCKTe.jpg

  Here are some helpful links for dealing with jetpack if you have not tried these already:
