Hi there. I have not logged to WordPress for about 5 years and now after logging in, I can find my old WordPress website but I am unable to manage or create new post. Last time it appeared under ‘Manage Blogs’ but now it’s missing. Is there any policy or rule on if websites will be archived if not logged for more than 1 year or some time?

Thank you in advance!

Could you give your site’s address?

Hi there,

The exorakhilas account you’re using to post here has never owned any sites on WordPress.com. If you have a site with us, it was created under a different username account.

If you don’t remember the login details for the correct account, please follow our account recovery process at https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/ so we can help you regain access.

Hi guys,

Thank you for helping out. The link is as below. I can still access the link to read but unable to create new post.

I’ve read the link provide on account recovery and unfortunately I don’t remember under which account the website was created but I do know that i only had one username which is exorakhilas before this.

There is a username account https://wordpress.com/forums/users/perkylily/

First log out of this account at https://wordpress.com/me (click on the Log Out button on the left side) and then visit the Log In page at https://wordpress.com/log-in If you have access to the email address associated with that account, you can either reset the password by clicking on the Lost Password link there or send yourself an email with a one-time log-in link by clicking on the “Email me a login link”.

If you don’t remember the email address and you had email notifications of new comments or feedback on that site, you could try leaving a comment or filling out a contact form on that site and then checking all your active email accounts to see where the email notification goes.

Barring that, you’ll need to recover your account following the support guide at https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/

Hi there!

Thanks for the link.
This site was indeed created under a different account than the one you’re using to post here. You can see it on your blog.
I’m afraid, however, that we can’t disclose the email address used to create it.
Try to reset the password and check all your emails to see if you received the link.

If that doesn’t help, and you do not have any ownership proof mentioned on this page, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you recover the account.
