    Hi there,

    All those blogs are owned by a different account than the one you’re currently logged in to. If you don’t have access to the email associated with that account and if you don’t remember its login credentials, you’ll have to follow our Account Recovery guide:

    I have found old University emails which would be the original one

    (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi Tudor, I’d recommend these steps:

    – Try commenting on a post. The notification email will go to the correct address, and you can log in.

    – If you aren’t getting the email, you can regain access using a transaction ID. Just look for it on a recent payment (here’s how), then submit it using the secure form mentioned here:
    https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#account-recovery-form

    The first one is a bit easier, but if it doesn’t work, the second option will. Cheers!

    I have found sight of various payments made to WordPress by myself for the services from my bank. My difficulty is converting the knowledge that I have paid you for the sites to regaining access to them with my current gmail address
    rather than the original one.
    My last payment was 2021

    Hi there,

    I would go ahead and contact our Account Recovery Team directly at passwordhelp@wordpress.com

    If you have receipts or transaction IDs from previous payments you have made from that account, the account recovery team would be able to confirm ownership, even without you having access to the email.

    Please reach out to them and they’ll be able to further assist you.

    Thanks!

    I’ve replied to the email ticket you submitted, so I’m closing this thread as a duplicate.
