    As an undergrad I created a WordPress portfolio website that has been inactive since 2011. It was set up using a student e-mail address that no longer exists. There is personal information up on the website and personal art that I no longer want to have online, and I am unable remove those items because I do not have access to the site and do not have any proof of ownership. I believe the email account that was used was: (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    After searching for help, I found this in your support :

    If Ownership Cannot be Established
    In the event that it isn’t possible to provide an email from the email address with which the blog was registered, a transaction ID, or the original activation link, access to the account cannot be granted for security purposes.

    We have a strict policy in place to protect our users from third parties who might try to use our support system to gain access to other users’ accounts.

    The following options are available in this circumstance:

    If there’s personal information on your blog, you may request that we set it to private so that search engines and users can’t access it.

    Since it seems as though I will be unable to recover my account as any e-mails sent to do so are inaccessible as the server no longer exists, I need this site made private so my personal work and information are no longer public.

    Please let me know when the site has been made private. Thank you in advance!

    The blog I need help with is: emilymarzonie.wordpress.com
