  Will my followers still get my new posts even if I have changed my blog address?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In most of the cases the subscribers won’t be transferred. Once you’ve changed the blog address, let me know and I can manually transfer the subscribers if necessary.

  I’ve actually already changed my blog address from laceymatherne.wordpress.com to ttravelingfoodie.wordpress.com and it seems like my new posts are not showing up as newly posted and I’m also not receiving new notifications when someone does like a post or I get a new follower. Can these issues be fixed? And if not, would I be able to go back to laceymatherne.wordpress.com and that fix the issues? Thanks so much!!

  See here and read carefully please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
  That option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade.

  I didn’t opt to permanently disable the original laceymatherne.wordpress.com blog though.

  That’s good news.

  If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade.

  Okay so it’s saying: To begin your Site Redirect upgrade purchase, enter the URL below to which you want your ttravelingfoodie.wordpress.com blog traffic to redirect.

  However, I’m looking to redirect traffic from laceymatherne.wordpress.com to ttravelingfoodie.wordpress.com. Would this also be possible? Thanks so much for your quick responses!

  To do so you need to purchase the Site Redirect upgrade at https://laceymatherne.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php and set it up to point to ttravelingfoodie.wordpress.com .
