Forums / Receving email notifications from WordPress after I deleted my WordPress acct

Receving email notifications from WordPress after I deleted my WordPress acct

    I followed all of the instructions to delete my account a couple of days ago. Now I am receiving unwanted emails (“Take your WordPress.com site to the next level!”).

    There is no simple link on the e-mail to unsubscribe, so I’m forced to log back into the account that I was assured was deleted two days ago, in order to change e-mail notifications.

    Your links are awful. I go ’round and ’round and am unable to change my e-mail notifications. Simply ridiculous. You should not be sending emails to accounts that no longer exist, and I should not be allowed to log into your site with a non-existent/deleted account.

    WordPress.com accounts are permanent, but you can easily delete your blog, which you have already done.

    If you are trying to unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

    Thank you for the information. I used your link, but the page will not load. Well, the header and footer load, but the only thing in the middle of the page I see is the whirling status starburst. I watched the starburst for 5 minutes, then gave up.

    More suggestions?

    Thanks. It loaded. Although there is no option to “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com,” under Email Delivery Settings/Default Delivery Methods I selected “No email delivery.”

    Will this accomplish what I want?

    Yes, that will accomplish the same thing.
