Hi zainabbinthusain,
Your content and all will remain the same.
What are you trying to change your site URL to?
Here’s a quick guide to walk you through the process – Changing Blog Address

Thank you Luminusdadon. I wanted to change it to my name but it says something about purchasing a traffic redirect which needs to be paid every year?
If my subscribers click on old links will it redirect to my new url? -
Hi Zainab,
If I understand correctly, you want to change the URL to zainabbinthusain.wordpress.com right?
If you change your URL, links to your old address, including search engine results, will be broken unless you add a Site Redirect upgrade which is a paid upgrade.
-
yes changing it to zainabbinthusain,wordpress.com
Okay, besides search engines, everything else stays the same?
I was hoping to do the site redirect for a year and thereafter hopefully there will be enough search engine links for my new site on google etc? Does that sound right? -
While setting up the site redirect for a year and cancelling after that MAY deal with the search engine issue, it won’t take care of situations where people have manually linked to your blog or to a specific post on your blog.
-
Manually linked meaning those who have subscribed via email? And how will reblogs work if people have reblogged my current posts on their own blogs?
Thank you so much for your help luminusdadon -
Manually linked means anyone that has copied and pasted a link to https://reflectionsofataalibah.wordpress.com or any of your current posts.
If this is not a concern, you can proceed as planned.
