Old wordpress site associated with an email I no longer use
-
I have an old wordpress blog and but the account the blog is link to is my old account with a email I know longer use since it’s an email I used when I was in college and I have a new wordpress with my current email with no blogs or anything as a result I can’t log in to my old wordpress blog to export the old site so I can import it to my new account with my current email. My old blog is right here. https://justinfellinblog.wordpress.com

Hi there,
There are various ways to recover access, here is the related document:
https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/Just to clarify, do you still have access to that old email address or not?

Hm, ok then.
After browsing the content over at
https://justinfellinblog.wordpress.comit seems there are 9 pages total, with content that is transferable -with a bit of patience- manually.Would you be up to that?
I am asking because otherwise providing proof of ownership is a requirement and that would be tricky without access to that old email account.
If, instead, you would like to request for any further insight from staff members please add the
modlooktag on the right sidebar.Hope this helps, otherwise let us know!

I’m requesting further insight before I go forward with the transfer of content because I worked hard on that site and I need to keep that content with pages in tact and editable. Thanks

I know the username for the old account that the blog is associated with is macman223. For my current account that I am using I added the “113” at the end of “macman223 as to not duplicate. I hope that helps with the insight.

Are you able to provide any of the additional proofs of ownership listed at https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#account-recovery-form ?
If so, please follow the steps there.

I have my phone number but that my still be linked to my current account but other than that I don’t have any proof of ownership

Ok, please send an email to passwordhelp@wordpress.com explaining the situation, and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do for you.

I would like to go forward with the manual transfer of the blog pages that you mentioned please.

That isn’t a service that we provide. What I believe @anastas10s (who is not Staff) meant is that since the website and content is public, you can copy and paste the content from the original site into your new one by creating new posts and pages from scratch, or a “manual transfer”.
I hope that clarifies things!

Indeed @macman22311327f3d5d , as helper-heroponriki pointed out, I meant that since the website and content is public, one can copy and paste the content from the original site into a new one by creating new posts and pages from scratch, or a “manual transfer”.
The following link provides some insight to this process, I believe, even though it is a section from another guide:
