Forums / Unable to update WHOIS details

Unable to update WHOIS details

    I’d hugely appreciate some help. I keep getting instructions to fix my site with a message: “You must respond to the ICANN email to verify your domain email address or your domain will stop working. Check your contact information is correct below.”

    But when I try to correct contact information I get a message: “Unable to update WHOIS details”

    My domain has now been suspended because I am unable to verify my WHOIS data.

    I’m being sent a link to my 2 original emails associated with the domain registration BUT I no longer have access to these:

    * For the first email address I no longer have access to that address (I no longer own the domain associated with it)

    * For the second email address, because the domain has been suspended I don’t have access to the email services linked to the site

    This second email address is for a gmail account, and I assume the transfer to Google Workspace might have triggered this request to confirm my domain. .

    Any help gratefully received!!! Thanks

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)
