  My old email address is invalid. When I put the new (valid) address in, I get an error message stating that it (the new one) is already in use. The new address is also my recovery email address. How do I get the old (invalid) one removed and replaced?

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

  To clarify, do you see this error when you enter your new email ID on this page? https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Hi, if the new email address is already in use, then:

  – Try logging in using the “Continue with Google” option if you signed up using a Google account.

  – Recover your password using the Lost Password option and a recovery link will be mailed to you.

  Hope that helps.
