Client site undo redirect

    Client has asked me to redirect site to URL.

    URL has been purchased via GoDaddy, I accidentally changed the site url via the WordPress dashboard prematurely (before know I needed to go to the “mapping” section of the WordPress account)

    Details:
    old URL: wearemovement.com
    new URL: venergymovement.com

    It appears the wp-login details however do not work for wordpress.com??? This prevents me from accessing the “mapping” section, and also leaves the site in it’s current state of constantly redirecting me from wearemovement.com/wp-login.php to venergymovement.com

    Any help that could be given would be excellent. I have a back up of all the site, and it’s possible to start over as the URL we want is separate, but we’d prefer to be using the current system. I’m happy to provide more information, I’m usually used to having FTP as an option to manually change details if necessary! :(

    Please note: the “blog url” attached is unaffiliated, as I’m posting this via my own account, as we collectively can’t seem to find the details for the wordpress.com account

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

    No, the login details for a self-hosted WordPress.org site won’t work to log in to WordPress.com, as the two platforms are completely separate and different: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    venergymovement.com is a self-hosted site hosted by promptwebhosting.com.au and wearemovement.com is also a self-hosted site hosted by netregistry.net. This forum is only for free WordPress.com blogs. Please visit the WordPress.org support forum for assistance as we won’t be able to help you here: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.

    If, in fact, you want to use either domain with WordPress.COM (i.e. NOT self-hosted), you’ll need an active WordPress.com blog to which you can map that domain.
