Recycle Old Blog URL
-
Hi, I am wondering if I can recycle an old url address?
I understand according to the en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ article that this is possible. I have attempted, according to the article, to recycle the address, but to no avail.
The blog url I want is my old one which I deleted two years ago, so I want to know if it can be restored after this long, as the article seems to imply is possible.
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The relevant wordpress.COM support doc is found at http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/.
Sites already deleted by their authors two or more years ago may become available again, if they present no username or other technical conflicts. Do you see a deleted site https://deletedexample1234.wordpress.com/ with an address you would like to have? You can try registering a new site with that address here. http://wordpress.com/start If it is available, it will be yours.
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated there.

Yes this is what I already understand and have referenced the article you posted in the original thread post. The blog was deleted over two years ago and it won’t allow me to use it. Do you know why is this?
-
Hi there,
What is the name of the URL you are wanting to recycle? I’d be happy to take a look.
Thanks!

Hi darnelldibbles, the URL/blog name is onefaithgospel.wordpress.com. If possible I just want to transfer that URL to the account that I’m using here (the difference is the word ‘blog’ is added to the end on this account URL). I have marketing materials that belong to that URL so it would be great to get it back. I deleted it in early 2014. Thanks

Hi there,
So that I can take a further look, do you happen to still have access to the account associated with that blog address? If so, I’ll need for you to post in this thread under that account to verify ownership.
Thanks!
-
If I’m right, I think you are referring to a blog that I altered in place of that original account which I have just left inactive. I know the one and viewed it recently, but I don’t remember the password, and the email address linked to it has been deleted so I can’t recover the password. I can post the link to that account here or describe the blog if that can verify? That account can be discontinued if necessary.

Hi there,
The only proof of ownership that we accept is here:
https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery
If you can fill out that form, we should be able to get you back into your account and look into the site for you.
Thanks!

Hi darnelldibbles, I have filled the form and found success as one of your colleagues has restored the site. Now how do I get the blog address transfered? Thanks
-
I have the problem of not being able to reset the password due to the registered email address being deleted.
-
Hi there,
I see that we were able to move the onefaithgospel.wordpress.com blog over to your newer account. Great!
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
-
Hi darnelldibbles, yes thank you very much, success! I now have access to the site. Many thanks to the WordPress support team, great experience and very helpful, professional staff. Thanks again for all the effort. God bless you!
