Need to add user to edit posts on blocked account

    To clarify, I the sole account owner, have been blocked from accessing the account.
    I can still post to it using the email to post method. This is the sole account info I have on record.
    But it is important to be able to edit the posts as needed.
    I may have added users in the past to add/edit posts but I can’t remember who they were.
    This is very upsetting and confounding since everything with the site is normal and no errant or unwanted posts or changes have been made by anyone, ever.
    This account was created back in the late 2000s and I can’t find the 3 recovery options they ask for. I’m getting nowhere with the AI support bot.

    You are simply logged in to the wrong account. https://wordpress.com/forums/users/eventcityc2f59cc9e3/ is only 6 days old so it cannot be connected to a 20 years old site.

    We can only help with sites running on the wordpress.com platform. First things first: what is the URL of the site you are talking about?

    A simple trick to find out what email address is connected to that site, is bij leaving a comment on that site. next check all of your email addresses to see which one gets that reply.

    Once you know the email address, it’s very easy to get a new password for your account – https://wordpress.com/support/passwords/#reset-a-lost-password–
