Unlink old unused or unowned self-hosted WP sites
-
Hi there,
I have a bunch of old unused or unowned self-hosted WP sites that I must’ve connected to wordpress.com long ago.
I couldn’t find how to remove them from my sites long ago. Could an admin do this for me?
Note some are still WP sites, just not owned by me. Others are non-existent.
Here’s the list:

apricotjamproducts.com
generacportablegenerators.net
callideal.com
lunchboxesforadults.net
philsapps.com/pinterest

This is wordpress.COM support. It is not Wodpress.ORG support and we cannot help you aside from pointing you to this support doc > Disconnect Jetpack Sites https://en.support.wordpress.com/disconnect-jetpack-sites/?
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.
Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support. -
@timethief Sorry for the misunderstanding, but this does have to do with my wordpress.COM dashboard (in turn linking to old self-hosted sites).
Here’s a similar request fulfilled by a WP.com staff member. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/unlinked-a-self-hosted-blog-from-my-wpcom-dashboard?replies=2
I suppose they were probably connected using Jetpack originally. It’s been so long to be honest, so I’m not sure.
Thanks.

Hi @pderksen,
I’ve removed all of the connections you mentioned.
If you need to do this again and don’t want to wait for a member of staff, there are some instructions in this guide:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/disconnect-jetpack-sites/
Let me know if you have any questions!

@gemmacevans
Thanks for confirming what I posted was correct.Why is Staff disconnecting these sites for users?
-
@gemmacevans Didn’t realize I could do that myself at this point. Thanks fore letting me know!

@pderksen No problem! :)
@timethief We sometimes help with this when there are quite a few sites to disconnect. Thanks for bring this post to our attention.
