    The domain name speakeasyohiou.com at speakeasyohiou.wordpress.com needs to be renewed, it expires in 3 days, I have no clue how to renew it because there is no “renew subscription” button in the “My Upgrades” tab or anywhere else — I think it’s because our old credit card expired and we need to renew with a different card.

    Can you please please get back to me ASAP? I need help, we’re a student pub starting an important year out and we need our site running.

    Email me back at (email visible only to moderators and staff) or (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    Thank you so so much. I appreciate any help we can get.

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

    Also, I guess the button would just be “Renew Now” as found in this support document. Still, it hasn’t appeared yet.

    You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased the upgrade to access the blog and renew the upgrade >Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades

    Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

    If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
    follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

    If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
    and click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery.

    Thank you so much! Turns out that main acct is registered to our last main editor despite the fact that my acct is an admin and all.

    If I want to transfer ownership of that acct over to mine, where should I start and what info do I need?

    Okay so here’s the situation.

    To register a username account here one provides an email address and that email address becomes the unique identifier for the username account. All blogs registered while logged in under that username account are registered to that username account.

    There is a means of transferring that account to another username account. The owner of the blog ie. the person with the username account who registered the blog must add the other username account as an Admin of the blog first, and then follow the guide to transfer the blog to their username account.

    excuse me, *transfer ownership of the site to me. Not transfer ownership of the person’s acct. I just want to be able to renew the subscription from an acct that is not the ex-editor’s.

    Let me clarify: username B2 used their credit card to start the subscription for the site. B2 is no longer around to work with us but can transfer the subscription over to my acct, B3. How do I transfer the subscription of the site to acct B3 so that I can pay and renew the site?

    Thanks, timethief. I actually think that last link you gave me, http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account, actually should do the job of transferring the site over well.

    I would still love for a staff response to make sure that is the correct thing we need to do, however.

    I’ll wait until then!

    What I posted above was correct but I’ll leave the tag up for Staff.
