If not me, who is receiving the email to confirm cancellation?

  • Unknown's avatar

    We would like to permanently delete the site and content. I’ve followed the steps and received the message that the action will not be final until I confirm through a link provided via email. I’ve done this several times but am not receiving an email. I can only assume it’s going to another individual associated with the site but I don’t know who. The easiest solution is to have the email come to me so I can complete the cancellation. How do I go about making that happen? My email- (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    Currently only the blog owner of the site can permanently delete a site. This can be seen in step 5 of this support guide:

    Delete a Website

    So a confirmation email should have been sent to the blog owner. Please contact that user to confirm the deletion. There is a time limit so if the request was sent more than a day ago, please have the account owner initiate the deletion following the guide above.

    Let me know if you have any questions with this!

    Hi Grace,

    Thank you for your response. I have followed the instructions and understand that the email will be sent to the owner. I do not know who the owner is however. There are 5 people listed as administrators and one person listed as an editor. I don’t see anyone listed as owner so I have no idea who to contact. If the owner is who I think it is he is in Nepal and has no internet access for a year. We would like the site deleted long before that. Is there any way around this?

    Thank you

    If you are Admin you should be able to set the site to Private

    Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading >> Visible to only those I choose – remember to save changes

    Hi there,

    The owner is the one who set up the site. If you don’t have access to the site owner, you can set the site to private by going to Settings > Reading in your Dashboard. No one will be able to view it without your permission.

    Cheers!
