  I have an old WordPress.com blog that’s been dormant for a number of years and I’d like to access it again. Problem is I don’t remember the password and no longer have access to the email address associated with the blog. How can I access it?

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

  Hi there,

  Looks like you have purchased an upgrade for that blog back in 2011. If you could provide us with the transaction ID for that purchase we can help you recover access to the account that owns that blog.

  Here’s how to retrieve the transaction ID:

  If you find the transaction ID or any other information regarding that purchase please do not post it in this public forum. Let me know and I’ll contact you privately.

  Hi,

  Thanks for the info. I’ve found a billing ID via Paypal – would that work?

  I’ve also identified two WP purchases on my bank statements from 2011 but unfortunately there’s no ID (or just a couple of digits) but I can confirm the dates of these transactions.

  I am having a related issue here. I once set up the site rajetter.wordpress.com to try if wordpress is suitable for the homepage of rajetter.de. I gave up on this idea, but left the wordpress pages online. Now I would like to edit the pages or take some offline (as it is only “dummy style”), but I can’t access the site an more. I can log in as “rajetter” as I am posting under this username right here, but I cannot see the site and edit it. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
