  Hello
  I used to be gozzers.wordpress.com and decided to rebrand and change to what i’ve been going by which is theonlyculturevulture.wordpress.com, however all my old links are still the gozzers one and I want them to be transferred to theonlyculturevulture. I also want to add different pages e.g homepage, own pages for blogs e.t.c

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there:

  It looks like you renamed the site from gozzers to theonlyculturevulture? I’m looking at your site and I’m not seeing where there are any links to the former name.

  Could you give us a link to or direct us to the post/page/etc that isn’t reflecting the change? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Do you mean you’d like those links to be redirected to your new site, so people who click on an old link on the web can still find your content?

  That is unfortunately not possible.

  We do offer a Site Redirect upgrade which you can use to direct traffic from one site to another, but to use that the site you’re redirecting from should still exist. As gozzers.wordpress.com was deleted as part of the address change process, that address no longer exists, and you can’t add a Site Redirect to it.

  As the address change was more than 30 days ago, it’s also no longer possible for us to restore that address for you so you can add a redirect. So in this case I’m afraid there’s no way to have your old address be redirected any more, and any links for the old address will show the page with the message that gozzers.wordpress.com has been deleted.
