Take down website from ex-vendor
-
Hi there,
There’s a website that I need to take down, since our ex-vendor doesn’t maintain it anymore, is it possible? if yes, how?
PS: I tried to copy-paste the link here, but it seems it’s a private link, and I don’t find any option to “hide for public”.

Without knowing the URL of that site we can’t help.
You must also know we can only help with sites running on the wordpress.com platform. WordPress.com doesn’t take down a site on demand, only the owner can do so.

Hi there,
Thanks for the replies. Here’s the URL, it’s running under WordPress.com and we’re the owner of that business (if need legal prove, we can provide that, but seems not in this public forum).
The reason we want that way is we temporarily shutting down our business lines for that, so we just want to clean it.
Thanks!

Best solution is to set your site to private – https://wordpress.com/support/privacy-settings/make-your-website-private/

Sorry for our late replies.
We didn’t have access to its administration login, so we couldn’t set it private nor do any changes. Is there any other option to take down that from the WordPress.com themselves?
Thanks!

As you have a paid plan, you must use the Transaction ID to restore access – https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/?_gl=1*1314lvf*_gcl_au*MTUxNTM3MDM4My4xNzY5MTAyMzYw#transaction-id

Hi there,
Apologize for our late replies and appreciate for your prompt replies.
Is it possible that wordpress.com, help us to take it down? Since we didn’t have access as its admin, neither we do know the username / login email used for that page.
We couldn’t reach our ex-vendor at the moment, so this is our last resort, as we trying to clean this up.

As I already said, you must use the Transaction ID to restore access to the account owning that site – https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#transaction-id
