    Hello WordPress.com, I am Justin Chang owner of Shantung Restaurant located here in the Philippines. 4 years ago a friend of my dad created a WordPress site for our restaurant to post our products and services. It has been 4 years since they have last spoken and my father has no more contact with the person. Our dilemma is that the website http://shantung.wordpress.com/, which my father’s friend created 4 years ago, is still active and many of our customers mistake it to be our official site. This is bad for our business since the information in that site is highly inaccurate. We would like to request the site to be taken down permanently as soon as possible since we have no more means of accessing it and all information present there is invalid. Thank you and have a happy holiday!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    This is the correct login link http://shantungrestaurant.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

    Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

    If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
    follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

    If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    Your last resort for obtaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery with as much information as possible and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

    After your recover the access you can delete the site. We cannot do this for you.

    To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

    Alternatively, to change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
