  I have changed my username, which created a new blog site using the new username. Would it be possible to turn-over the posts from the site using my old username to the one with the new? Like, can I continue with the old blog but change the url with the new username?

  Thanks!

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

  Hi dyabeness,

  You can create a new username and have your old blog.

  Please read the below documentation to do the same.

  Hope that helps.

  Thank you.

  Hi iamrishaan,

  Thanks for providing the link. However, when I changed my username, I chose to create a new blog matching my new username, which created an empty blog with my new username.

  My bad that I didn’t look it up first before saving the changes. But will it still be possible to merge the two blogs and keep the url matching the new username?

  Thanks.
