HI,

I have two older sites that I left during Covid and wonder if I can get them back?
I’m in a position to get a better plan for these and use my own domain but I can’t log in to them.

They are probably about 2 years old now but I can still see them in a browser.

WP.com: Yes
Jetpack: No
Correct account: Yes

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

Hi there!

Can you let us know the URLs of those older sites? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

Thanks!

Hi there!

Both of the sites you mentioned are owned by the same WordPress.com account, which is different than the WordPress.com account you are currently logged into.

What I recommend here is following our guide here:

That guide will go over different ways we can help you recover that account. If changing your password using the Lost Password Form doesn’t work, please fill out the Account Recovery Form.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks! That reset worked for me. I eventually found I have three sites and now have all under control!

Thanks for your quick responses!
