Changing Domain Names
-
Hello. I want to change the domain name of one of my blogs to the name of another one of my blogs. I have been looking at it, and it seems like if i change it, then the url i want for my original blog (that i started on my new blog) will be unavailable for use. How can I use the new blog name for my old blog? thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi virginniaelainne,
it seems like if i change it, then the url i want for my original blog (that i started on my new blog) will be unavailable for use.
That’s correct — changing your site address will mean the current address becomes unavailable. Also, if the address is already in use, you won’t have the option to choose that address for another site.
I want to change the domain name of one of my blogs to the name of another one of my blogs.
It sounds like you wish to keep the existing content on thelaughterofthelord.wordpress.com but use the address of one of your other sites? If so, which domain would you like to use instead of thelaughterofthelord.wordpress.com?
Once I know for sure, we can look at the next steps.

Yes that’s what I want to do! Thank you for understanding, I wasn’t exactly clear. I have exported my content and uploaded it to the new url and everything looks completely fine. However, how do I get my followers and everything over there too? Why can’t I use the URL for the 2nd blog I made on my main blog?

The URL for your main blog could have been changed to the URL of your second blog, if you had not already created the second blog. Since it already exists, it’s a bit more complex.
Which of your sites do you want to move the content of thelaughterofthelord.wordpress.com over to?
