  Hello,

  I deleted my website (yarnologyatelier.wordpress.com) with the plan to create it using a different email address (for cohesiveness). But l later realized that this is not possible, as the site address becomes unavailable after 30 days.

  I want to restore my site (yarnologyatelier.wordpress.com) but I get the error stating “Only an administrator can restore a deleted site”.

  Could someone help restore this site for me.

  Also, is it possible to migrate this website from one email address (say (email visible only to moderators and staff)) to another (say (email visible only to moderators and staff)). What I mean is, at the moment yarnologyatelier.wordpress.com is under my personal id, and I want the yarnology email address to be linked to it.

  Thanks!

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

  Hi there,

  I have gone ahead and restored the site, you should now see it in your active site list again via https://wordpress.com/sites

  You can change the ownership of the site from one email address to another by following this guide; https://wordpress.com/support/transfer-a-site/

  Let me know if you have any more questions!
