    This site was last updated in 2012. On archive.org I see it was last cached in 2019. How can I add this back to my sites and start using it again?

    Hi there!

    The site you mentioned is on a different WordPress.com account. You must log in to the correct account to be able to manage the site. It’s not possible to just add the site to this account without logging into the original account you used to create the site.

    If you don’t remember the password to log into the other account, you need to follow the instructions here: https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#account-recovery-help

    Here’s the account recovery form you need to submit: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

    Once you’ve submitted the form, our account recovery team will get back to you via email to help you with this further. We are unable to help with account recovery in the forums.

    Regards

    Oh boy, I guess this gets more complicated. The last time I updated the site was 2012. I thought it was on my (email visible only to moderators and staff) email, but apparently not. I not only do not recall the password, I do not recall the email address used. Is there any other way of authenticating me? Thank you so much. Claudia

    I do not recall the email address or password used. This blog has been dormant since 2012. We are trying to recover the blog and begin reposting. We own, and have owned, the Chelsea Sun Inn since 2005.

    I do see an email from wordpress.com to my email address (dated July 5, 2012) acknowledging a new admin email address. When I click the link, it says I need a higher level of permission. But it is also a very old link.

    Please help!

    Thanks for the extra details! Please send an email to passwordhelp@wordpress.com explaining the situation, and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do for you.

    Thanks!
