  This has to be easy but I can’t find the answer. I originally had my blog on my own domain name. I had to register on wordpress.com to activate the Jetpack plugin. Since then, my blog has moved to another domain name. Everything has been working fine with the dashboard on the new domain.

  If I log into WordPress.com now though, the menu items underneath the Blog menu still show the old domain name. Under the Me menu, the Edit My Profile has the new domain name however with https instead of http, but the Track My Comments has the old domain name.

  If I go to the Global Dashboard and My Blogs, it won’t show my old domain but will show my new one as a Linked blog.

  If I go to the Dashboard of my new domain and go to Your Profile, under Contact Info it does show my correct website.

  How do I change everything on the WordPress.com login to show only my new domain name?

  The menu options on WordPress.com should all have WordPress.com sites listed, not a WordPress.org site such as http://txwinelover.com/

  It’s correct that http://txwinelover.com/ is listed as a linked blog and it should not be used in any of the other admin bar menus such as the Blogs menu. I’ve updated your primary blog on the Users → Personal Settings page to the WordPress.com blog and that should fix access to the Track My Comments page.

  WorPress.com and WordPress.org are separate. The only reason http://txwinelover.com/ is listed on your My Blogs page is because you’re using the WordPress.com system to measure stats for that blog, but a linked blog like that is not meant to show up in the admin bar menus on WordPress.com.
