Making a new Site with a new email address
-
Sorry, I’ve been here before but the topic is now closed, I see, so I’ve had to come back. I tried to follow the instructions to transfer the material I had on my Musicals site, to another, but first I had to open one to which to transfer. BUT, I cannot see how to do this. As soon as I log on to WP it configures my emails address, password etc. as the current one. How do I go about getting a totally new site up and running with new email, user name and password
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

- Invite the new username account to become a new Administrator of the blog you want to transfer;
- Then transfer the blog to the new username account.

Thanks for all the help and I followed advice to the letter. Got, as I thought my new site all set up but am having trouble activating it as no emails are reaching the address I gave, and there has been a blued-out two liner that says
There is a pending change of your email to [redacted]. Please check your inbox for a confirmation link
as the first one I gave didn’t seem to be working. How long should it be pending. I’ve already waited over two hours. I’ve put a new query on the Forum about this, and hope that someone can help but I notice there are another two with the same problem awaiting answers.
Meantime, thanks again for your help. I, at least, can start a new blog if only I can get it activated. -
It’s getting worse. Nearly two days on this site now and if I’m not careful I shall lose two years work on my other site http://www.travelsineuropeandasia.wordpress.com
I did as suggested above and finally got a new site set up (as I thought). I even got a new email address as the one I gave originally didn’t seem to work.
Got the site up and got the Profile up but when I signed out just to make sure, I found that this new site had taken on the travel site as well as the first musical one I’d tried to set up but which I cannot authenticate! On the travel site now I have no Dashboard so cannot do anything, nor can I sign out. My new site that I’m currently on but on which I have no posts or pages, won’t allow me to change the email address for a new authentication as it says There Was a Problem Saving Your Changes. but doesn’t tell me what this is.
I am really worried about my Travel site and am quite happy to lose the musical site which was connected to this via my username maristravels as there are only 2 articles on there.
Can anyone help me? Please, I’m getting really, really desperate. -
I’ve deleted posts from a site I want to move from but on my new site I missed out one letter from my new email address. Now I cannot change it (although the site has asked me to change it if the emails are getting through) but it is saying There Was a Problem Saving Your Changes. How can I get over this? Do I have to start all over again making another site? I am using up so many titles this way.

The first post, above, won’t work as the site has not acknowledged my email address, see query.

Back again and hoping someone will reply to this post. My site, West End to Broadway (or Blogs About Musicals) is not up and working yet as it keeps telling me to click on the activation email it sent. I have done this, many times, but it still keeps asking me to do this. I then asked it four times to send another activation email but nothing has come through. I have set up a new email address for this. [redacted] and I have checked it letter for letter but there is no email in there for me from WordPress although I have sent to this address from my other address. I see that this site is listed for me here in the Forum but I cannot get into it via the search engine presumably because it is not yet registered. PLEASE HELP.

Now for my other problem, with my travel site. When I log in I cannot access the dashboard as there is nothing along the top of the opening page except the Google bar. It is also showing the message We cannot load blog data at this time. Does this mean not showing the Dashboard?
I’ve spent ages separating this site from my new one (above – not yet up and running) and would like to get on with posting to them but cannot move forward. -
I’m going to cry, I think. When I click on the avatar/images here I get into my blog and I can access the Dashboard. But honestly, no kidding, it wasn’t there before, it had disappeared.
BUT, I seem to have lost my new site that I made with the new email address, so I shall just have to try making another one and hope for better luck this time.
Anyone got any ideas where I’m going wrong, feel free to shout at me!

Hi @maristravels , no worries, we’ll help you find the sites.
The email address you posted is returning our emails. It says that account does not exist. Can you try sending yourself an email to be sure the address is right? Once you’ve got the correct address, log into that account, and go to wordpress.com/me/account to update to the correct email there.
Then update us here. By the way, you won’t need to post your email address in the forum. We’ll be able to see it. Thanks!
