  Hello! I opened this account using the wrong email address, and would like to transfer it to my personal email. Is it possible to do so without having to close the account completely and losing the blog name? Thank you.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello,

  You can update your email address in your Account Settings.
  This information can help you:
  https://wordpress.com/support/email-address/

  Let me know if that helps.

  Hi @flattiredevelopment, sure thing!

  If you’re not already using the email address under some other account, you can simply change it here:
  https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Then confirm the change by clicking on a link in that email’s inbox.

  If the desired email address is in use with another account, you still have a handful of options. You can add the account to this site as an admin:
  https://wordpress.com/support/user-roles/

  Or transfer ownership, even.

  Or, depending on the email address you want to use, you may be able to use an alias. So for example, on gmail, (email visible only to moderators and staff) will deliver to your personal email, no problem, as would (email visible only to moderators and staff). And it would count as a separate email account here. Many other email providers have alias options as well.

  If you need more options, let us know!

  @julinedossantos1, sorry I didn’t see your response — I’d opened this tab a while ago and forgot to refresh. Thanks for your help!
