    Upon initially registering a new blog with an incorrect email address, the confirmation/validation email went there and now I cannot change it or fix it.
    Can I please have the account reset so I do not have to wait until it becomes available again? I need to be able to buy upgrades, set it up, etc.

    Unfortunately, email addresses cannot be changed on pending signups, so I have removed it from our system.

    You may now re-register with the correct email address.

    I’m sorry guys, but I did the exact same thing as improperganda. I too entered the wrong email address and now I can’t use the original username or blog address that I wanted. I wanted the address makeyourbreak and i entered the email address as (email visible only to moderators and staff) but I should have entered (email visible only to moderators and staff) . Can you help me please?

    Hi makeyourbreak1,

    I’ve removed that signup from our system so you can re-register with the correct email address.

    Hi, I just made this very same mistake. I am trying to register the usage of pureluxhair.wordpress.com and entered the email (email visible only to moderators and staff) when instead it should have been (email visible only to moderators and staff). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    selectivelysocial – I’ve removed (email visible only to moderators and staff) from the system so you can try again.
