So I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but I registered a domain with a free wordpress site then changed it…. but I forgot I changed it, and submitted a grant proposal with the old domain listed as the website. Yikes! Its not the absolute end of the world, but, the old one is just sitting there, so, I wonder, since I was the one who made it and abandoned it, could I have it back? Is there any way?!

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

Hi –

I can take a closer look at the domain status. Please confirm which domain or site address is in question.

Hi there,

I have successfully restored that site back to your account.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I’m happy to help.

You would like for arabicbooksculture.wordpress.com and arabic4trauma.wordpress.com to display the exact same site?

I’d like to take the site built at Arabicfourtrauma to be at Arabic4trauma.

So to migrate all of the settings of the ‘for’ to the ‘4’

Is that possible?

Thank you *SO* much for the help!

We don’t have a direct way to do that. In this case we recommend exporting the old site https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and importing https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/#importing-content-from-another-wordpress-blog

This will move the content, but you’ll need to copy over the settings yourself.
