Changing current URL to a past URL that was previously deleted.
-
I deleted a wordpress blog urk a long time a go and now I want to change my current blog url to that name. However, it says that the name is in use but there isn’t a blog at that address. When I type the URL into the address bar, the site that come up is a wordpress landing page saying the site no longer exists. How to I change my current url to the old url?
Thank you!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
You had to ignore multiple warnings that site deletion was permanent and irreversible to delete the URL. I am sorry but you cannot claim a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
