  I am trying to recover my WordPress blog namingthestars.wordpress.com which I set up in 2013. I’ve not touched it in a while, and the email address that was last associated with it is now shut down, so password recovery emails are going into the void. I am also running into issues with the Account Recovery form, as I cannot give the three types of proof of ownership – it was a free blog, so I have no receipt or transaction ID, it predates two-factor authentication, and the first email I have is the one confirming that the site was set up, but there wasn’t one giving an authentication link. I have bunches of emails confirming posts being made that I can share to show it was mine, but I don’t know how to get past the automated account recovery form to be able to speak to a human about this. Can anyone please assist?

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

  I also have the associated Facebook page dating back to the blog creation in 2013, which is linked to my personal Facebook account as the only administrator, so I have a solid case for proving ownership – I just need a human being to look at this and help please! :)
