  Hello. Earlier I changed the address of my blog from foodandtheory to foodintheory. This was a mistake. I would really like to have the previous URL back, but it will not allow it. What can I do?
  Blog url: http://foodintheory.wordpress.com/

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

  I’m sorry but this is what is stated:

  7. The final option presented on this screen allows you to discard your current address. This option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade.

  If you chose during the process to discard your previous address, it very clearly states in the documentation that once you change the address, you can’t get it back.
