Recover or take down IUP Fencing Club web site

    The IUP Fencing club created a WordPress site a good 5+ years ago, and the president has since graduated and not left any login information with the club. We are hoping to either recover the club web page, or at least take it down so that it is no longer providing out of date information for our club.

    We have none of the required information needed to recover login information as that was lost by the old president. (I believe that he used his university login information to create the account which has since been deleted by the university.)

    Hi. Just so we know you’re in the right place, could you leave the URL you’re having problems with?

    In other news, I did manage to get in touch with an old social chair that MAY have the login information…. He says that he tried to log into the account but didn’t have the correct password, and the old Yahoo account (turns out it was NOT a university email) seems to be locked out…

    He says that he has requested help from the WordPress admins, we will see what happens…

    Was just notified by the old officer, apparently he does not have any information that will allow access into our old account. How can we progressed from here? I am the coach listed on the page, Erik Blank, and still own the contact email address listed under my name if that will help in any way.

    Thanks @phraedrique160418, unfortunately we need to work with the site owner on this.

    He may be able to get access to the old email address again, or he may still have an activation URL somewhere in his archives. Either of those would do. But he’ll need to work on this with us.

    I have spoken with all of the old club officers, and none of them have any record of the old account.. Since most of the information is no longer correct (except my email information), is it possible to simply take the site down?

    We cannot simply take down a site per your request. Only the site’s owner can close a site or we can do it only if that site violates our Terms of Service.
