Trying to close account and blog
-
Hi there,
I didn’t realise this travel blog of mine still existed and would like to remove it. I deleted the email account associated with it about 10 years ago and had forgotten I even had a WordPress account. I’d like to delete it but I have no access to the account, as it’s not my email address anymore.
I’ve looked at the account recovery form but can provide none of the 3 proofs of ownership. Is there anything else that can be done?
I see this is a common question on this forum.
I had to create this account just to ask this question.
Any help would be appreciated.Thank you!
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: Unknown -

It looks like you just created this account, actually, so if you can let us know the account you’re trying to remove, we’ll take a look.

Hey,
Yes, I had to just create this new account to just ask this question on this forum.
The little travel blog I created 10 years ago and would like to delete is:
https://jackdudman.wordpress.com/
That was made using an account I no longer can access, as I changed and deleted the email account shortly after.
It’s so long ago I can’t remember what username I would have used.
I can’t give anything for any of the 3 proof of ownerships account recovery options, as it was a free account blog, so no payment receipts were used. An activation email would have been sent to the email account I haven’t had in years, and no two point authorisation was set up at the time. So I don’t really know what to do?I realise you can’t accept the published photos as proof, but I could provide other photos/ angles from that same trip to show it’s my blog?
Thank you!

@jd576, I can’t make promises on that because it is not one of our recovery methods.
But if you want to give it a shot anyway, make a private (temporary) site, and create a few posts with alternate shots. For each, include a link to the original post, then, if possible, include the original image (full size if possible) and the original alternate images.

Thanks Supernovia!
I’ve created a basic private page, with a selection of images, including uncropped originals, and alternatives with links to the original post.
Hope this is enough

Fingers crossed.

Hey there,
It looks like you were able to resolve this issue via email so I’ll close this forum thread for now to avoid duplication.
You can continue to respond to the email if you have any other questions!
