Returned after a long absence, and can’t access 1 of the 3 blogs I owned

  I’m hoping that someone can help me here, as it seems that I cannot recover one of my accounts via the official form that WordPress has…it seems that I’ve lost any evidence that I own this particular blog that I’m trying to gain access to again so I can resume posting after an absence of 8-ish years, especially because I like the domain name I had (otherwise I may just have to copy and paste these into a new blog…).

  Within the last 14 years, I started 3 WordPress blogs using two different emails. Each blog had a different purpose, but eventually I stopped posting in all of them. I did, however, occasionally return to one of them long after I stopped posting, because it was a blog of some recipes. Today, I logged into WordPress, and when prompted to merge with my Google accounts, I clicked ‘yes.’ I did this for both of the email accounts I typically used for blogs 10 years ago. Now I’m discovering that while I can access my recipe blog by going directly to the URL, I cannot find any evidence of it under either of my WordPress accounts or in my email inboxes.
  
  My first post on the recipe blog is in 2015, which leads me to believe that’s the year I created it. My other ones were created in 2010 and 2013. I’m fairly certain I logged into this recipe blog within the last 5 years…. but now I’m not finding any evidence (no email confirmations or activation links). And I’m trying to think…did I create this blog under one of my other accounts so that I had two blogs under one of them? Was that possible then? Could my access to this third blog have disappeared because I merged my Google accounts with my WordPress accounts? Did anyone else experience something like this?

  If someone from WordPress can get in touch with me, I can provide the URL of the recipe blog in question. If there is no solution, I suppose I will just have to call this a loss and move on.

  Thank you!

  You are simply logged in to the wrong account. What is the URL of your missing blogs?
