Can't remove website

    Howdy howdy howdy,

    I had created a wedding website using WordPress which I didn’t want to continue maintenance on, but didn’t want to delete entirely. I used HTTrack to make a local, static version of everything (I really wish there was a native way to convert a WP site to static for posterity!), and replaced the WP install with the static version.

    As such, JetPack can obviously no longer connect to the site, but it is still listed in my wordpress.com sites – unable to be removed. How can I go about removing this from my WP.com account?

    Thanks so much!

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

    Hi there,

    I see that there are a couple Jetpack sites in your account. Please provide me the URL as timethief suggested and I’d be happy to remove them.

    Cheers!

    I’m only seeing two in my account page. The one I’d like to remove is jaeandjennyadventure.com

    AwesomelyModest should stay. Are there others I’m unaware of?

    It has been removed.

    Cheers!

    I have recently created a webpage for my iron work business in wix.com. I previously owned the domain name http://www.gossettironart.com through WP and would like to transfer that to my wix site and permanently delete the WP site for good as I do not need a blog type site for my business. and don’t want search engines directing customers to the old site.
    I’ve been working on this for 7 days now and have gotten no where.
    any help?
    -Josh

    @gossettironart
    We find it very confusing and disrespectful to the original posters when bloggers post off-topic into existing threads. When threads are tagged for staff with modlook in the sidebar like this one and you post into them you move the timsetamp forward and the original poster has to wait longer for Staff help.

    Please use this link to copy and paste your question into a new thread and we will gladly answer question there. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1

    @gossettironart-

    Can you please open up a new thread as your request is not related to the title of the thread?

    We will respond to your request in the order that it was received!

    Thank you!

    Disrespectful? sorry. I didn't know.
    I find it very confusing that I cannot use the domain for my company that I own in a new site.
    I am not a blogger.
    I do not know how this works. I simply clicked on a highlighted option in the support sight for WP that said exactly what I needed to do.
    My apologies

    Thanks
