New user registration?

  • Unknown's avatar

    What is new user registration? I don’t presently have a blog (I used to) but periodically receive emails like this: New user registration on your site My two cents worth:

    Username: NiamhBroo

    E-mail: (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    What does that mean? “My two cents worth” was the name of my old blog but has been deleted for a long time. How can someone “register” for a blog that doesn’t exist – and what does “registering” for my blog mean anyway? Thank you

    Hello and thank you.

    I don’t know how to “subscribe” to your response though but I do see options to unsubscribe so perhaps it is automatic.
    Thanks again.

    Hi dawk11,

    I do not see a user on WordPress.com with the username or email address in your original inquiry. Could this be in reference to a self-hosted WordPress blog?

    Hi jackiedana. Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, like I said, my blog “My two cents worth” is gone. I recall deleting it maybe over a year ago now. If my blog was (or is still) “self-hosted” I wouldn’t have known I was doing that when I set it up. Is there a way to check?

    BTW, I got another “new user registration” today. I’m still not sure what that means but it doesn’t make sense to me that people are “registering” on a blog that no longer exists (and that I’m getting an email that they’ve done so.)

    Any advice would be welcome.

    The blog http://mytwocentsworth.wordpress.com/ was indeed deleted, and there are no users or followers on that blog. It was created a number of years ago and has no content.

    Again, since that user does not exist on WordPress.com, and the blog was deleted a long time ago, my guess is that you’re talking about a different WordPress blog, hosted elsewhere. There is a site at http://mytwocentsworth.com/ that is not hosted by us. Perhaps that’s the source of these notifications?

    If wordpress wasn’t the host then how could I have deleted the blog from wordpress? I’m not very sophisticated at this (obviously) – I wouldn’t have the first clue how to create a WP blog and have it hosted somewhere else.

    I’m really not sure. Do you still have one of the notification emails? If so, let me know, and I’ll contact you privately so you can forward the email directly to me.

    Yes I do.
