  Hi there!

  You can refer the below article for changing the blog address :

  Please know that once you change the URL/Address, it will become unavailable for you or anyone else to use for quite some time, if at all.

  Hope that helps.

  @slp711,

  The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

  If you wish to change url of your website then you can follow steps given by nrpatil0408

  All the best :)
