  I would like to request help regarding the website groji.wordpress.com. Unfortunately, we do not have access to the account that owns groji.wordpress.com. To understand it briefly, check the previous forum post: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/upgrade-plan-53/
  Is it possible to request a change to make the website private instead of public with our current permissions?

  Appreciate your help and time!

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @grojilnl,
   
  I have set the site to Private for you, as you requested.
   
  Now that the site is Private, search engines and visitors can no longer view it. This keeps your information secure. If it still appears in Google search results, it will drop gradually over time as Google stops indexing it. You can also ask Google to remove it from their index using their removal request tool.
    
  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  Only the site owner or someone with admin access can change a site’s privacy settings. Since you don’t have access to the account that owns groji.wordpress.com, it isn’t possible to make the site private from your end. You’ll need to regain access to the owner account or contact WordPress.com staff directly for further assistance.
