Oh Crap, accidentally deleted my account (wordpress.org)

  • Unknown's avatar

    Before anything else, I know this is wordpress.COM and not .ORG. I’m on here because I accidentally deleted my .org account by changing the site’s address to my domain.

    It automatically logged me out and when I tried to log back in, it brings me to my .COM dashboard (where the domain was originally purchased and pointed to).

    I just made the domain switch. Pointed nameserver to bluehost and transferred the domain over as well (cancelled private ownership, the whole deal).

    I don’t know what to do now? I have no access to my .ORG account. It even says my username does not exist.

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

    My previous log-in forthe account is: http://66.147.244.234/~jredatab/wp-admin/

    I was just trying to change the name to jredatabase, instead of the temporary domain (numbers)

    Ummm … we can’t you with ANY WordPress>ORG issue here at WordPress>COM

    Yeah, I understand that. I’m just hoping someone here has knowledge of this unique situation or could forward it to someone at wordpress.org. I can’t even access their forums because I no longer have a username. It seems there is no e-mail or phone support. I’m a big handcuffed here so I figured this is my best bet.

    I tagged this thread for suggestions from Staff.

    You can open a new account at WordPress.ORG with a new email – I don’t know if their accounts can really be deleted either – but – the .ORG log in is not the same as your blog

    If you mean that you reset the URL, name, log-in or something for your blog on Blue Host it can be fixed – it is a common error but the recovery process is very exacting as I remember – so you need to get a new account at .ORG and ask for help there – this used to happen regular like so you might be able to find an open or recent thread dealing with this –

    Good luck and keep the faith

    @auxclass
    Thanks for assisting. That’s what I would have done too but I no longer self host and I was too timid to post that.

    You be welcome –

    I don’t self host anymore either – I “moved” my site once (from lower directory to root) and was terrified the whole move – and I pointed many people in the right direction to fix the wrong move thing – so I did see the changed URL, password and such when I helped over at .ORG

    Helped with directions on moving their site – always a big read everything and don’t skip a step warning – and a large number would come back with a take of woe – when they did not follow the move instructions exactly –
