  Hello,

  First of all, I created a blog with with the name wanderpower an A account using an A email address.
  then I thought it would be more relevant to use a new B email address to manage this blog.
  So I have :
  – created a new B account with the B mail
  – created a blog with the domain name wanderpowercom
  – and deleted the wanderpower blog from the A account.

  Now I would like to use the wanderpower domain name on the B account and not wanderpowercom .
  But an error message appears: the domain name is not available
  How do I solve this?

  Thank you in advance for your advice.

  Hi there,

  I have restored the site https://wanderpower.wordpress.com/ to your account, and you can now see it listed here: https://wordpress.com/stats/wanderpower.wordpress.com

  If you wish to change your username to match you can follow the steps here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  If you wish to change the email address your account is under, you can change it here: https://wordpress.com/me/account/

  Hope this helps!

  Hello

  thank you for your response.
  However it doesn’t solve my problem.
  I want to use the domain name “wanderpower.wordpress” on the B account. I want to change this in the settings. But it displays an error message “domain name unavailable”.
  I know I am the one using it. Can’t the domain name be transferred?

  That makes sense! So the first step was to restore the site wanderpower.wordpress.com.

  Now that the site is restored, you will need to follow the instructions in the guide I’ve linked below. They will help you move the site from the account it is on currently, to the “B” account as you call it.
