Old website – cannot access, no old email addresses working!

    Hello! I really need help with this… I only just saw that an old site of mine is still up and public – from 10 years ago – but I really want it down. Yet, my old active WordPress account doesn’t have this site! None of my old or current email addresses are registered with it and I literally can’t find this site admin portal anywhere. I need to figure out how to take it down, as it’s outdated and unprofessional.

    Thanks!

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

    Hello,

    Sorry to hear you are having issues, whats the domain for the website you want to take down? I will tag this with modlook hopefully, staff are able to help you once we know the domain name.

    Hopefully, this gets sorted for you.

    Hello, Thank you very much for replying. (I’m not sure why it added that blog URL at the end of my orig post — that is NOT the blog I need help with).

    The site I need removed is: claradudley.wordpress.com

    I’m since concerned that this may have been associated with an email address from college that was since deleted – hence, not having access to the email account and I don’t know how to prove ownership. I really hope this does not mean I can’t prove ownership in another way.

    Any assistance is much appreciated!

    Good morning –

    In order to access claradudley.wordpress.com you’ll need to provide proof of ownership. The accepted ownership items are listed on our Account Recovery page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Thanks for responding, but I did address that above already… I do not have access to the email account or a phone number for verification – as this was many years ago – hence, I cannot prove ownership through WordPress’ Recovery page. I believe this account was set up under a since-deleted email account, which I cannot access.

    I understand. Please check your email. I’ve just sent a note your way. Reply to my email directly rather than this public support forum. Thank you.
