changing the url

  • Unknown's avatar

    i made a mistake while setting up my wordpress, just to make the long story short, currently my url is:

    http://redeyeheartfeltmomoments.wordpress.com/

    if you notice the moments is spelled wrongly, while registering redeyeheartfeltmoments, i pressed something wrongly, (mainly coz wordpress is not really very user friendly) so now i’m trying to use back the redeyeheartfeltmoments but it says it already exists and its reserved

    i dont know how to get it back, i want to use the correct one, i need help on this!

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

    You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

    yes i did all that, initially i was able to register the correct one, but i notice that it didnt change (maybe i didnt refresh or something) so i did it again, but the 2nd time typed wrongly, so now i cant go back to the correct name

  • The issue here is that the redeyeheartfeltmoments username was used in the past. Since you changed from that username, though, the old username was deleted; there are warnings about this in the username change process.

    Unfortunately this also means the site name cannot be registered. It’s a known shortcoming of the current setup and not something we can work around manually.
