Changing my blog URL

  • Unknown's avatar

    I looked this up but the instructions appear to be out of date. When I click on “My Blogs” I do get the list of all my blogs but it is not presented in the way that is shown here:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/#instructions-for-changing-your-blog-address
    and I can’t see a link for changing address!
    Blog url: http://meiravsblog.wordpress.com/

    Please make sure you are logged in as the blog owner of the blog you want to change. The option will not appear if you are not logged in as the blog owner.

    Can you please try clearing out your cache?

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Thank you. I clear my cache daily and have just gone and looked again and the option is not there. I am logged in as the blog owner, I see a list of all my blogs but it is a new layout, not the one shown in that screenshot. Under the name of each blog I have a row with these options:
    Dashboard
    New Post
    Drafts
    Your [#] posts
    Stats

    My question is:
    Where is the “change address” option supposed to appear in the new layout?
    (or alternatively, is there a way I can get the old layout back? I remember finding it there ages ago, that’s why I knew it was supposed to be possible to change the address.)

    The ‘Change address’ option hasn’t changed. Could you send us a screenshot of the page where you’re seeing this? You can upload the screenshot to your blog (Media -> Add New) and put the file link in this thread.

    oh wow, I’ve found it!!! I was looking in the wrong place.

    here’s the confusion:
    when you click on the WordPress logo on the left, you get a menu that includes something called “my blogs”, and that’s where I went looking. It’s a totally different layout, and the option to change blog address isn’t there.
    but when I now clicked on my name/headshot on the right, I got another menu which includes an option called “manage my blogs”, and that’s where there’s an option to change a blog address. (and when I got to this page I found it was headed “my blogs”, just like the other one. not ideal really – very open to confusion!)

    I’m glad you found it. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for the follow-up.
