  Hi,
  According to staff they will only give access to the account if you have one of the following: 1) a transaction ID, 2) an activation URL or key, 3) two factor authentication codes, or 4) access to the email address associated with the account.

  Use this form to provide proof of ownership: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  Thanks for the prompt reply! The only problem is the account is inactive for 9 years already. We dont have all 4 of the above except for the URL of the blog. Which is why I’m not asking for access to it, but rather help to privatise the blog posts. Is this possible?

  I’ve tagged this for a staff member’s attention.

  Hi there,

  What is the URL of the blog that you want to privatize?

  Thanks!

  I have set the blog to private and e-mailed the owner of the account.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  I was waiting a few days to make sure that the owner of the blog didn’t reply. I have now privatized the blog. Let me know if you still see the blog.

  Thanks!

  Hi Darnell. Another minor request, could you change the site visibility to be “private visible only to users I choose?”

  Hi there,

  Wasn’t that the original request? I already set the site to private after your initial request. Are you still able to view the site yourself?

  Let me know, thanks!

  Post has been hidden. However, the blog is searchable on google. So if possible, i want to privatise it such that it is not searchable at all.

  Sorry for the trouble.

  Hi there,

  You need to wait until your results drop in the search engine. It’s up to Google to decide when and how to include/remove this page from search results, WordPress.com doesn’t have any control over that. For more information you can read our FAQ about search engines here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  You can try requesting removal from Google by following the instructions here:
  http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=92865

  Google also provides information and tools for webmasters, you might find further information on their tools here:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
