  This account was only created two months ago so I assume you need to access a different account to reach your unnamed (an URL would help) site.

  Thanks…i do have access to the account. it’s the “Tools>export” options that i don’t see on my access page.

  I had a blog over 16 years ago before it was “wordpress”. Now i’d like to download its contents to format and keep. Can’t seem to see a way to “export/download archived/etc”

  What site builder/format was used for your unnamed site? Have you approached the support for that company?

  Hi there,

  Can you please share the URL of the site you’re trying to export?

  We’ll only be able to help if that site is hosted on our servers on WordPress.com.

  Thank you, Kim! That site is owned by another account. Can you log out, then log back in with the older username or email address?

  If you aren’t sure what those are, try commenting on a post. The account that owns the site will likely get an email notification, so check all of your email addresses so you can find the right one, then you can log in with that email address.

  If all else fails, here’s how you can recover access:

  Thank you for that info supernovia. i had forgotten about using another account. I’m able to log in and see my posts and hopefully, get the option to download/export. selecting all posts is an option now, unlike before.

  Cheers,
  Kim
