  I changed my URL and now the previous one is unavailable for me to change back. I understand a warning was set telling me that the original will no longer be available, but it’s still something I very much regret. Please, is there any way I can revert it back?

  It was extrmam.wordpress.com before I changed it to extrmamsubs.wordpress.com.

  EDIT:
  I received this response from you for this question:
  ‘You can try the following:
  Create a new site using the previous address, extrmam.wordpress.com.’
  However, the URL is still not available.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  I understand how important your website’s URL can be, and I want to help you as much as possible.

  Unfortunately, once a WordPress.com address has been changed and more than a month has passed, it’s no longer possible to restore it. We make sure to communicate this warning during the change address process to ensure our users are fully aware of this permanent action.

  However, we can explore other options. If you really liked your previous URL, I have an alternative for you. You can register a domain, such as extrmam.com or extrmam.blog, which not only retains the name of your old URL but is also more concise than the free .wordpress.com subdomain.

  What’s even better, you can register that domain for free. All you need to do is upgrade to any of our annual plans. Even our most affordable plan, the Personal plan, comes with this offer. This will not only provide you with a unique domain but also give you access to a host of other useful features. If you’re interested, you can quickly upgrade below.

  I hope this information helps you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. We’re here to help.
