Changing WordPress URL
-
HI,
I need help changing my wordpress url, without losing any content. I assume that there should be an easy method of doing so, since wordpress is hosting the site. If it is possible to simply change the mapping of the url to the same old content I do not see why there would be any loss of content issue, however I’ve read in multiple blogs that is a possibility of losing content.
It would be awesome if a wordpress developer can assist me in changing my url.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no possibility of loss of content if you follow the instructions. Fortunately, this is not rocket science. :)
If you want to change the .wordpress.com 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

Changing a URL is a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
