The number in our data for Wordpress is 1-877 273-3049, and there is no consumer email address in our data. In practice, help for a wordpress.com site runs through the support section after you log in, where you can open a request or start a chat, and through the public support forums. Include your username, the exact site address and a screenshot of the error, because an agent cannot look at an account that is not identified.

One distinction saves a lot of wasted effort: wordpress.com is the hosted service with a support desk, while the open source software from wordpress.org has no company help desk at all. If your site runs on your own hosting, support comes from your host, the volunteer forums and the developer of the theme or plugin involved. Locked out of your site? Start your complaint here and we help you write it fast.

Deleting a site and closing an account are two different actions, and doing them in the wrong order is what traps most people. Export your content first, because once a site is deleted the export is gone with it, then delete each site from its own settings, then close the account itself from the account settings. Both steps are permanent and support cannot always undo them.

If the option is greyed out or the deletion fails, screenshot the exact screen and the error text and send it to support with your username. Consumers here report getting stuck at precisely this point, so keep every reply: a dated trail is what turns a stalled request into an escalation.

The usual cause is that the login name, the display name and the email address on the account are not the same thing, and older accounts often carry a username created years ago through a linked service rather than through wordpress.com itself. Try logging in with the email address instead of the username, and use the account recovery route rather than guessing, because repeated failed attempts can lock the account temporarily.

If you are being told a username is unavailable or invalid when you create or change one, note that usernames are not always reusable after a change or a deletion. Send support the exact wording of the message plus a screenshot, and ask them to confirm which identifier the account actually uses.

Plan renewals and domain registrations renew automatically, and they are managed in the purchases section of your account rather than by cancelling the site. Turn off auto renew for each item separately, then confirm that the status changes on screen and that you receive a confirmation email. A domain name is a separate purchase from a plan, so cancelling one leaves the other running.

If a charge appears after you cancelled, screenshot the purchases page showing auto renew off, the date and the charge on your statement, then ask support to reverse it and quote the ticket number. A complaint filed through our complaint process adds weight to that request: we raise your case through emails and social media and help you keep the pressure on.

Wordpress has 2 complaints here so far, not enough to call any of it a pattern. Our research shows the issues that come up most at a website building and hosting platform: plans and domain names that renew automatically at a higher price, refunds refused once a renewal has passed, accounts that cannot be deleted and usernames that stay locked forever, sites suspended without a clear reason, domain transfers held up, and support that runs only through tickets.

Your complaint gets its own public page on Complain.biz and we get to work: we bring it to the attention of Wordpress through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Yes. We have an active community of consumers, and complaints here are public: people who ran into the same problem with Wordpress can give you advice or back you up with their own story. A complaint with a community behind it is much harder to overlook.
