  I registered a domain in 2011 and forgot about it. Recently I registered a new domain with the same email address. I want to use and edit the old domain but whenever I go to edit it goes back to the new domain. I can’t edit the old one and it is not listed in “my domains.’

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

  Hi there,

  What’s the old domain you’re trying to edit? I can investigate that for you to see what’s going on.

  Hi Rachel (aka good fairy)

  The domain is annieoshaughnessy.wordpress.com

  When I click on “My Sites” and then manage my sites it goes to the “truenatureguidance.wordpress.com admin page.

  I won’t both domains, but of course want to be able to edit both.

  Thank so much for any help you can offer!

  Hi there,

  Thanks for explaining! Your WordPress.com account annieovt is only linked to your site truenatureguidance.wordpress.com. This account doesn’t have access to the other site at annieoshaughnessy.wordpress.com.

  That site is owned by a different WordPress.com account, so you’ll need to log out of annieovt and log in to the other account to manage that site. (If you have any trouble logging into the correct account for that, our Account Recovery guide has more details about where you can get help.)

  If you’d like to manage both sites from the same account, you can also log in to the account that owns annieoshaughnessy.wordpress.com and transfer ownership to your account annieovt, with our guide for Transferring a Site to Another WordPress.com Account.
