My site is ‘dethinkxify.wordpress.com’. No edit buttons are availab;le on the pages of my articles. When I press ‘Write’ icon on the top right side of the pages, it says : ‘Create a site’. My email, which is the one I registered the account with is (email visible only to moderators and staff).

    Hi there, it looks like you need to be logged in with a different username dethinkxify Try logging out completely from WordPress.com and then clearing your browser’s cache and cookies (this will also log you out of any other website you are currently logged in to). Then log back in to WordPress.com with the dethinkxify username.

    If you no longer have the log in details for that username you can try a password reset if you have access to the admin email associated with that account or the account recovery process. Both processes are explained in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    Let us know if you have any other question about that after reading the support guide.

    Yes, obviously, someoone has highjacked my account. I opened this account 2 years ago. I am the only one who has contributed. I am a lone wolf, live alone and certainly do not sdhare any creativity in terms of author.
    The last time I visisted the websaite, I noticed someone completly erased the bibliographic content of my last contribution. My last contribution was from end opof 2017, but I was unaible to post it, certainly because of the subject I was dealing with. I recently changed ISP, and therefore my old email connected to my ISP has been closed. But I have always only used my Gmail account in association with my blog.
    Now, someone who probably did not agree with the content of my l;ast blog blocked it, stole it (probably), and made sure to erase all wordpress communication email I had received. Not only is my original enabling amail gone, but all forum associated email have been erased also.
    If proof of authorship is not relevant to prove ownership of the blog, what is? Can’t you verify that someone has changed the email associated with the blog within the past 3 weeks. Because I have reset the password, and my profile tells me that there is no account tied to my email identity. Which means someone took the profile of Ddethinkxify.wordpess.com and changed the assosicated email within the past 3 weeks. The only solution for me is to make a mirrore website, called dethinkxify2…and see what happens.
    No one can clain didelido inregards to me. I have been celibate for 20 years, do not share my house with anyone safe my dog. Have had solely owned ISP accounts with only 1 provider for 20 years (with on and off years, but active since 2007, with only 1 email). Only 1 email unli I activated in 2013 my google account, which since 2017 is associated with the first ever cell phone I got. That is it.

    This is the link to the obviously controversial article I was finally ablew to post in march and with title: Feminists and privilege of exceptions
    URL: https://dethinkxify.wordpress.com/2018/03/

    So, in a word, someone has kinapped my account and there appears to be no way, for me alone, to recuperate it.
    My original link has disappeard, renewing password does not give me acess to the blog since it says I have no blog active; I have no paypal link (or tansaction ID since I don’t sell anything; and I never activated the 2 step authorization. My original activation URL has disappeared from my gmail email account which has always been the first and only account I have used in association with my blog and which appear to have been highjacked within the past 3 weeks.

    Hello again, this account that you are posting here with https://en.forums.wordpress.com/users/cubitus700/ is 2 days old. The account at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/users/dethinkxify/ is 2 years old.

    Staff can see behind the scenes to understand which user account did what on your site. I’ve tagged this thread for their attention.

    Regardless, if you suspect that someone has access to your account, you will want to change the passwords on both on your WordPress.com account and your associated email account. Here’s more on security: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

    Jennifer,

    As I explained, when I changed my password, becauser it was not recognizing my original password and I was log out, it issued a new password. With the new password it gave an account to which no blogs were attached. It simply said I had no sites. Which means that some else changed the associated email or google blocked my account. What I did is reopen a new account called dethinkxify2 instwead of dethinkxify. But I have logged out, re-looged in and dethinxify iis no longer tied to cubitus 700 or to the associated email (email visible only to moderators and staff). This email and username were the original ones linked to dethinkxify.wordpress.com. And are also the ones tied to the new mirror site dethinkxify2.wordpress.com which I created this weekend.

    But effectively, something unusal happened to my gmail account, where I had not changed my password, and it was not recognoizing it. This was last week. So a had to change the gmail password. And then I tried to access my blog, dethinkxify.wordpress.com, which was always logged-in, but now, I could only access it as a reader. When I tried to logged in, it did not recognozed my password. I had a new password re-issued. And when I logged in with the new one, it said I had no sites lined to my account and I could only see my blog as a reader, no access at all.

    So either google locked me out, or someone changed the email which was linked yo my blog. And that someone was not me, bit the owner of the blog and not its author.

    If you can see how the account evolved through time, it should be easy for you to see that all activity in terms of writting and managing the blogged occured from one computer, mine, until a month ago. But since I changed ISP, on the 3rd of May, This was the first time, I am quite sure, but not certain, Friday the 8th of June, that I had tried to access the account. My old ISP was Sympatico.ca service from Bell Canada. My new ISP is Oricom.ca. But I did not use my oricom email on the blog, and the first time I have accessed, I am quite sure, the website with my oricom ISP is Friday June 8th. But effectively, someone changed something in editing, because as I explained, the whole bibliography on the above mentioned article was erased. I had to botched one in quickly (and I can’t remeber the date I did this), which I hoped to revisit adding more references which I had to locate.

    Hi there,

    Your are posting in this thread as the username, cubitus700. As @justjennifer also indicated above, this account was created 3 days ago on 8 June, and has never owned any sites on WordPress.com, and is the only WordPress.com account connected to the Gmail address you gave above.

    The dethinkxify account was created in November 2016, and is connected to a completely different email. There has been no email or password changes on that account and it is still connected to the same email address that was originally used to create that account. No one has hijacked that account.

    To regain access to that account, you need to follow our account recovery process as outlined in the link @justjennifer gave in her first reply. We cannot give you access to the account any other way.

    Welcome to Kafka.!
    As I explained, I cannot relocate my activation URL. What is surprising is that you say that another email was always associated with this account. The only 2 possible emails were (email visible only to moderators and staff) (an email I had on and off for 20 years, as I reactivated and canceled my account with my Bell canada ISP Sympatico service, and in 2013, the only other email I ever opened was with Google: (email visible only to moderators and staff). (I currently have another email with my new ISP, but have not used in in connection with Google wordpress or gmail). But that is it, if any other emails than (email visible only to moderators and staff) or (email visible only to moderators and staff) are in the profile of dethinkxify.wordpress.com, than someone highjacked the account. Further please understand, I have repeated this 3 times, I created this weekend a mirror website (to be filled with content from the original) tittles dethinkxify2.wordpress.com (yes, almost the same URL safe for the “2”). But I would prefer gaining access to my original blog.
    Now I don’t use my blog for any transaction, therefore as I explained I don’t have an ID related to that kind of activity. I never activated my 2 step authentification.
    Now, I have changed ISP, canceled my Bell canada (@sympatico.ca) account on May 7th 2018. And automatically my email was closed but further I made sure to erase all emails in the box. But I did make a copy of all sent emails prior, and in them I cannot find one trace of my communications with wordpress. Thgis is funny because I remember being in contact with them the first 2 months of the account because my Blog (dethinkxify.wordpress.com) was never indexed in search engines…impossible to find in any manner through searches on any of the major search engines. After 3 months, only some articles presented when searches were done with the full tittle and the name of the blog.
    And further, either the stats counts did not work, or it appeared I was the only one visiting my blog…because it counted my access as visits when access through an hyperlink, and these appeared at the time to be the very few visits which were registered on the stats counts.
    Anyway, if the offical email is in fact (email visible only to moderators and staff), and this email is closed, who can I reintegrate my blog with my (email visible only to moderators and staff) identity. How can I ask for a new password for the primary email which would be “(email visible only to moderators and staff)” but have the password sent to (email visible only to moderators and staff)?

    Try sending a message to yourself on dethinkxify.wordpress.com’s contact page and then check your email accounts to see where it shows up. If you don’t receive it at any of your active email accounts I don’t have any other suggestion to give you.

    Thank you, but I did that last night and nothing came in. I tested my old email, (email visible only to moderators and staff) and it says that they are no such email address. Yet, I also tested an reduntant email from (email visible only to moderators and staff) to itself, and this works.
    So effectively, if the contact email does not work from the blog dethinkxify.wordpress.com, it must be because you suspended the account (that is google woprdpress administrators); but I did not get such message. Or it is sent to an old email that does not work ((email visible only to moderators and staff)) or someone has put an email which was never mine….
    Or are they any other possibility, and how can I then recuperate my blog?

    To the moderators…
    I just find out, loooking at my archives that effectively, I had put sympatico.ca as the email for the account.
    Here is the only thread comment I got in a year in a half with a reader who had picked my identity (in fact he was an aggressive spammer selling diet techniques which did not agree to well with my blog on Nutrition labels):
    This is only part of the thread, (the remainder was not very interesting since he was very aggressive and cynical, as you ccan see he called me denise (female), while my name is Denys (male)) I can send the remainder if you want….but is there a way I can recuperate the account if the current email is closed and I don’t remember my old password.

    Hi, Chris,

    Good to hear from you, but my name is Denys, it is a male name. I am a guy…even if I might have sounded like a woman in my comment (???). People often make the mistake phonetically when they hear the name pronounced in French, but you are the first one making it by reading it…but it’s OK I am not offended.

    It is rare I am asked to participate in an open ended conversation on the internet, but I must warn you, I am very defensive about selling anything concerning health. I talk usually on the subject mostly to vulgarize scientific knowlege from my own readings. You must understand I am self-read, and as you might have read on my website there is a clear warning from my part concerning anything I say on the science and/or subject of health. I am not a health professional and I don’t give advice, specially health advice. A diet modification as such is not health advice, but one must be very prudent when talking about consequences or benefit of this or that approach with a specific diet. I am always very careful of what I present because they are so many inexactitudes, misunderstandings and money at play when it come to health.

    What I do like to do is address misconception of people on sensitive and popular healh subjects and re-direct them toward good and easy to medium difficulty access scientific papers. I don’t know how a guess conversation would come out; I will try to find some on your website to see.

    Let me have a look at your website, and I will get in touch with you again.

    As for our conversation, I would wish that the context at link to original page are accessible so people may understand how this came about, always very important.

    And yes, I am both US and Canadian citizen, but was raised by French Canadian parents in a French Canadian environment. But it is not that exotic anymore…I think it was in the 1970s and 80s. Exotic in a cultural sense of course.

    And my question(s) would be: do you have a financial interest in your website, do you make money thorugh the Signalet Diet brand name, are you an author, are you a health professonial, a scientist, a journalist…? Are you participating in a commercial endeavor, a not-for-profit, as an amateur (which is my case)?

    Talk to your later

    Denys

    Comment: Hi Denise,

    I posted a response to your lost comment but it does not see to have appeared, even when I refresh. Not sure whether I posted it incorrectly or whether it has been removed or maybe there is just something in the Discus script which puts a cap automatically on long conversations in the comments. I’ll try posting again.

    In the meantime I have posted up our conversation in my forum section for Diabetes 2. I hope you don’t mind. I would love to carry on a conversation with you there. https://www.seignaletplus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=8&sid=fbc76bd398518405942d85870c1da089

    Would you consider doing a guest blog for me? Are you French Canadian? If so, you have the advantage of being able to read Seignalet’s original book which has not yet been translated. (Long story). https://www.amazon.fr/Lalimentation-troisi%C3%A8me-m%C3%A9decine-Jean-Seignalet/dp/2268074005/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491466605&sr=8-1&keywords=seignalet
