  How do I move a WordPress site from one email to another if I’ve lost access to the old email?

  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of a WordPress.com site?

  Only the account that owns a WordPress.com site can transfer ownership to another account, so you’ll need to regain access to the original account first before you can do this.

  Please follow our account recovery process at https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/ to do that.

  Thank you for the response!

  Yes. It’s a WordPress.com site.

  My problem is that the email account that established the site is no longer active. I need to switch it to another email account.

  Thank you.

  Please send an email to passwordhelp (at) wordpress (dot) com explaining the situation, and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do for you.
