    About a year ago, I went through the process to transfer my wordpress.com (https://restoringshoshoneancestralfood.wordpress.com/) site to wordpress.org (https://restoring-shoshone-ancestral-food.org/). It was recently brought to my attention that the wordpress.com site is still live. From the searching I’ve done, it seems I need to make that site private to hide it, but I no longer seem to have access to any admin for the site. When I log in to wordpress.com, I’m directed to wordpress.org and the admin panel for that site. Then from there, the only site I can access is the wordpress.org site. When I look at ‘all sites’ and ‘all domains’ in the various settings pages, only my wordpress.org page displays. I’m no longer paying for any wordpress.com services, which is why I’d thought the site would be gone! Any suggestions? Thanks!

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    As that site is now a free one it will stay up until you delete it. You need to log out here and log back in with the correct username alywex and correct password to delete the site (or set it to private if you prefer).
