Created another user when I should have just changed my username…

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have the user juliafur linked to the site juliafur.wordpress which has also the adress juliamartino.com. Not knowing I could change my username and blog adress (here is were I messed all up! Sorry!) I created another user with the name juliamartino and the blog juliamartino.wordpress.
    Now, is there any way I can repare what I have done? Like:
    * Changing the username and blog adress from juliamartino to another and then changing juliafur to juliamartino;
    * or would it be better to pay the traffic transfer or somethig from juliafur.wordpress to juliamartino.wordpress — how would I transfer juliamartino.com to display juliamartino.wordpress is this case? Then can I change the email adress linked to the account?
    Sorry about all that, I really messed all up! :P :(

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

    I am happy to help you sort this out. The first thing I want to check is what you would ultimately like your blogs to be. Right now you have two blogs:

    1. juliafur.wordpress.com using the custom domain juliamartino.com
    2. juliamartino.wordpress.com

    You successfully imported the content from juliafur.wordpress.com into juliamartino.wordpress.com, so it looks like all of the content is the same. Would you like to link the custom domain juliamartino.com to this blog? If so, please let me know and I can help you move this custom domain to the correct blog.

    I would like to do that, yes!
    And is there a way to transfer the stats of my juliafur.wordpress blog? Or maybe to save them as a personal archive so I can keep them?
    I will probably use the traffic transfer too.
    Thank you!

    Great! Because you have two WordPress.com accounts and the other account owns this domain, I sent an email to the address on your other account to confirm that you want to transfer the domain. Can you please reply to that email to confirm it?

    Once we have that confirmation, I can transfer the domain for you. Because you imported a copy of your other blog into this one, I can also transfer the stats from the other blog.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions at this point!

    Ok, you’re all set! Your blog stats were successfully transferred, and you can now manage your domain upgrade by going to Store > My Upgrades in your dashboard.

    This domain is expiring soon, so please be sure to renew it as soon as possible. (You will need to re-enable auto renew now that the domain is on a new account.)

    If you have any questions, please let me know!
