    I am trying to use the email (email visible only to moderators and staff) for this wordpress account and stop using the : (email visible only to moderators and staff) email that is in use currently for this account. If there is anything we can about switching the email that’d be great, thank you.

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

    Hi there,

    If you click on the following link, it will take you to Account Settings, where you can update your email address.

    https://wordpress.com/me/account

    You can update your email address in your Account Settings.

    Once you’ve entered a new email address and clicked “Save Account Settings,” you’ll receive an email at the new address with a confirmation link. You must click the confirmation link to confirm the change and update the email on your account.

    This info was taken from our support pages found here:

    Change Your Email Address

    Hope that helps.

    Hi there,

    The email address you want to use is already associated with another WordPress.com account. You’ll first need to log into the other account and change its email to something else. That will free up the address so you can use it for this account.

    If you don’t remember the username and password for the other account, log out and clear your browser cache and cookies, and then use the email address to reset the password here:
