Lost my blog??
-
Hi, I would like to put my blog offline but I can’t seem to find it back again even though it is still available on the net. This is what I remember I must have done: I think I might have changed my users ID and pass word once but ever since I can’t seem to get into my existing blog again, it seems like I created a complete new one. So where can I ask WordPress to help me get back into the dashboard of my old user ID so I can put it offline? I need a person to do this for me, through a forum or FAQ’s this is not do-able. Thx for quick help!
The blog I’m referring to is this one: sofiedesmet.wordpress.com/ and NOT: sofiesticated01.wordpress.com
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
I would do a ‘search’ within your emails, (wordpress sofiedesmet, or just ‘wordpress’ going back to the oldest email) to find when you ‘created’ the old one; the email should ‘refer’ to you as your ‘old’ username also.. like ‘hi……..’ or ‘welcome……’
There, you should have a link on that email etc, I would also use a different browser; (explorer/firefox/torch etc) that way you won’t be signed in automatically to the old one.
Hope this helps.

That way, once you find your older website that you can’t remember the password.. and simply ‘request’ a new password (for the other ‘username’).

Thank you so much. I found it back. Now how can I put it offline without erasing the whole blog? Can you offer any help in that too? :-)
-
You’re welcome, glad I could help.
I would just change it to ‘private’ at the ‘sites visibility’ >>
Dashboard > Settings > Reading
Just change it to “”I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose””
That way that site is ‘unviewable’ by the public

Also, once changing the status at that page…. don’t forget to scroll down and ‘save changes’

Sorry, can’t seem to find that either… Can you be more specific to where I can find the ‘reading’ section with the sentence “I would like my site to be private… “?
-
Sure…
go to http://sofiedesmet.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php
for future reference here’s a picture of the left side of my admin page (which would be found at ‘your blog/wp-admin/)
If you look down you’ll see ‘Settings’ which is under ‘Tools’ and over to ‘Reading’…

Here’s a picture of the ‘Reading’ page
You see the ‘Sites Visibility’ you change it to the 3rd option..
“”I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose””

Thank you so much. You’ve been a great help. Never thought it would work, but it did. :-)
