  I’m trying to change my email address back to one I previously had entered, switched to a different one then decided I want to use the first one after all. However in trying to change back I’m getting a message ‘That email address is already being used.’ What do I do?

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

  There is a single email address that can be used on only one wordpress.COM username account and not on any others, regardless of how many blogs are registered under that username account.

  The wordpress.COM blog’s owner can change the relevant email address on their accounts page at https://wordpress.com/me/account at any time.
