  I keep receiving messages from my blog which do not relate to my site. I have since closed my blog down but I keep receiving the messages. Can this please stop.

  I’m sorry but without you providing the URL and/or email address which the software will redact ie. HIDE so only Staff can see it I cannot help. Please provide that info and I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hello there!

  Can you please describe what sort of messages you’re receiving? If you can paste the body of a sample email message here, that would help me look into this further.

  As an additional step, you may also want to cancel remnant subscriptions you’ve made to some of your post comments from this page:

  Status

  Please let me know if that clears up the problem. Thanks!

  Hi there,

  The site lauralean.com (the one that’s getting those comments and sending you the notification emails) is actually still up here: http://lauralean.com/

  That’s a self-hosted WordPress site, which means it isn’t hosted here at WordPress.com. You can read more about the differences between self-hosted and WordPress.com sites here: WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  Since that site isn’t hosted here at WordPress.com, the staff here at WordPress.com can’t do anything about these notification emails. You’ll need to log in directly to that site to manage it and manage the notifications you’re getting there. If you run into trouble or have questions, you can get help in the WordPress.org forums here:
