Changing the url of my primary blog (not hosted on WordPress) in my profile
-
In https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-change-primary-blog-in-wordpresscom-profile?replies=10 It is suggested that you fill out a contact form. However this no longer seems possible. Any way my attempt to find it ended here.
I changed the url from my blog and would like to change it in my profile as well. I have the choice of three (non WP) blogs I submitted once but not the new ones I added do not appear in the list.
The blog URL here is my old one (it redirects)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Our support docs only apply to wordpress.COM hosted sites and your site at http://onrust.2fd.eu/ is not hosted here.
IP Address: 87.250.155.142
Name Servers:
ns3.netground.eu
ns.netground.nl
ns2.netground.comYou are posting to the wrong support forum. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs are only for wordpress.com hosted sites and we do not provide support for
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
(3) Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, and if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

Sorry but this is not something that can be resolved on or by wordpress.org. It concerns my account at wordpress.com. I was able to add my previous url, not hosted by WordPress.com to my profile when I created it, so it should be possible to change it to another one. As said I can choose from some url’s I added previously (don’t know if these are hosted by WordPress.com) But the url’s I added this week are not in the list. This obviously is an “anomaly” (friendly word for BUG) in the way wordpress.com has set up the account system. I don’t use Jetpack. Did some years ago for a short time.

Hi @victor50g, if you’ll make sure the site URL and wordpress URL are correct, then you can disconnect and reconnect Jetpack. That should update the address for you.
The team may need to ensure that your stats and follows stay intact, so if you need more help, this one really is the best link for Jetpack-connected sites:

Hi supernovia. As said I don’t use jetpack and stopped using it for the original url some years ago. So would you advise me to install it and then uninstall it? I would like some simpler way of changing this :-)

@supernovia The title of this thread (and the first post):
“Changing the url of my primary blog (not hosted on WordPress) in my profile” (on wordpress.com)
-
Ahhh I’m sorry I misunderstood. Do you mind sharing what address you’re trying to use as primary? Is it the one your old address redirects to?
-
I would like http://hardewoorden.nl in “Accountsettings/Primary Site” what shows “here” is my twitteraccount and is set in “Accountsettings/Web Address”. I don’t think the old address onrust.2fd.eu shows up elsewhere.

The primary site is simply the one selected first when you manage sites from WordPress.com . It is not the one that others see in your profile.
Do you want to connect the site via Jetpack so you can manage it here?

Okay. Since you don’t want to manage this site at WordPress.com, it does not need to be set as the primary site you manage at WordPress.com .
You can go ahead and set the web address as you’d like. And if you’d like to add the site to the Gravatar profile, you can do that as well. Cheers!
