  Hello –

  I’ve let my domain expire and just repurchased it but I’m unsure of how to retrieve site access and export posts.

  Hi there!

  Could you please give us some more details? What is the domain in question and what is the address of the site from which you want to export posts?

  On your account, I can only see charmbtrippin.com which is registered with Google, not with WordPress.com.

  If you are referring to a site hosted elsewhere, we won’t be able to help you and you will need to reach out to your host instead.

  Hello – I just repurchased charmbtrippin.com on Google and it was previously hosted on WordPress but I was locked out of my account since I let my domain expire. I wanted to export the posts so that I can make a pdf of my portfolio and no longer need them online.

  I guess I just don’t know how to logon (and link my domain) to my WordPress Admin account now since my domain expired.

  The domain was never registered or mapped here.

  If you’re referring to https://web.archive.org/web/20190407055618/http://charmbtrippin.com:80/ that site was using the self-hosted version of the WordPress.org software, and to clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  Self-hosted WordPress.org sites are entirely self-contained, and based on https://securitytrails.com/domain/charmbtrippin.com/history/ns the site was hosted InMotion Hosting, so your only option is to ask if they still have a backup of your account: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/
