cant move a blog to a different url
-
Hi, I sent in a request a last week but haven’t heard back. My problem is I made eddielever.wordpress.com mistakenly under tagnotowasteplant blog but need it to be separate. So have made eddieleverpfc Blog but would like to run eddielever under it instead. I thought I had managed to export from tag to eddieleverpfc but it doesn’t seem to have worked. Can you help?? I would like to transfer all the pages to eddielever.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have two sites:
http://eddieleverpfc.wordpress.com/
http://tagnotowasteplant.wordpress.com/Here are the instructions for moving content between WordPress.com Blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
Note that export files are “copies” and not originals. -
but under the tag one I have an eddielever blog. Can that be moved to be under eddieleverpfc?

It sounds like you want to move eddielever.wordpress.com to show up under your eddieleverpfc user account. Is this correct?
If so, you can transfer it to your eddieleverpfc at any time by logging in as the other WordPress.com user and transferring it following the instructions below:
-
Yes! Thank you. That’s exactly what I would like but following those instructions when I try to transfer – after the big important warning red box it says “you cannot transfer to that user” ! sob. Any ideas?
-
@tagnotowasteplant to confirm: as the owner of eddielever.wordpress.com, would you like me to make eddieleverpfc the new owner of that site?
-
Oh yes, please, that would be wonderful, thank you very much. [feeling a bit dim at this end ! ]
-
I’ve taken care of this for you. The site eddielever.wordpress.com is now owned by eddieleverpfc. You can make tagnotowasteplant an admin on that site if you want to be able to access it from both accounts.

One more thing ! Now that you sorted it that eddielever is owned by eddieleverpfc and I have put the pages on it, is it possible to get rid of the first blog I put under eddieleverpfc “The life and times of Eddie Lever”, or should I just change it so it has no pages and leave it hanging.
I am too frightened in case I delete the new eddielever.wordpress.com “Life and Times of Eddie Lever” blog ! -
To make sure the correct blog is deleted, what is the exact URL of the blog you wish to delete?

My suggestion is to change its privacy settings to Private and use it for testing instead. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
