Are you trying to change your original domain name (http://carilinrichmorr.wordpress.com/) or the custom domain (carilinrichmorr.com) you purchased today? We can make either work, but the process is different for each :)
-
I see from your other threads it’s your custom domain you want to change. It’s not possible to change it directly, but you can cancel the current domain and re-register a new one. You’ll receive a refund for the first domain, so you’ll still only pay once.

No worries, it happens. It just gets confusing for both of us to talk about the same thing two places, so I closed the other thread.
Both would be nice.
The instructions I gave you earlier will let you change your custom domain name. Once that’s done, we can change the URL at WordPress.com.
Changing them both at the same time will add a level of complication we don’t need. Canceling the original custom domain name and purchasing another one is time sensitive so it makes sense to focus on that first.

Ok but i will have to charge my card again correct?
First, cancel the old domain. You’ll receive a refund. You can do that from here:
https://carilinrichmorr.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades
Then you can register the new domain name. You will be charged again, but the total expense will still be $26.
will i loose all my setup.in wordpress?
You won’t lose any of the work you’ve done on your site. Domain names are not directly connected to the content of your site, so you don’t have anything to worry about there.

Thank you so much for your help. You rock. I will change it tonight after work and then notify you. What are your hours?
-
I probably won’t be here when you get off work tonight, but I do work a couple hours on Saturday, so if you have follow up questions I’ll be able to answer them then :)
-
Ok thanks again for your immediate response to this issue and for the friendly customer service. I think I am going to like here in WordPress. World.

Great. That all seems to have gone as expected.
Do you want to cancel carilinrichmorr.com now? I can help you with that and get you a refund. I just want to make sure you know once you cancel a domain it’s not immediately available for repurchase. If you know you don’t want to use that domain anywhere, it’s no big deal, I just wanted to double check before we finish this up.
-
Good day Liz, I thought I did cancel it yesterday. At least it said cancel pending. Thanks again for all your help and have a great day.
-
I’m still seeing it in your account, so just to be safe, I’ll cancel it and process your refund from this end :)
