  Hello, I thought changing my domain name would not make previous links unavailable.
  If possible, I would like to restore my previous domain, if the links start working again?

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

  Hi there,

  I don’t see a domain ever registered on the account you’re contacting us from. Can you please let me know the domain name so I can point you in the right direction of getting support?

  Hi there,

  I’ve restored that deleted address to your account, but that alone won’t fix the links, as your content now exists at the new address, not the old one.

  To make sure old links will still take people to the right content on the new site, you can add the Site Redirect upgrade to jmfredriksen.wordpress.com:

  Is it possible to restore johnmartinfredriksen.wordpress.com as well?
  And then redirect traffic from both sites to the new kunnskapsbasertkosthold.wordpress.com ?

  That site was deleted more than 30 days ago, so it’s no longer possible to restore it.

  I got the redirection of jmfredriksen.wordpress.com -> kunnskapsbasertkosthold.wordpress.com working.

  But is there no way then to make johnmartinfredriksen.wordpress.com redirect to kunnskapsbasertkosthold.wordpress.com work then?

  Unfortunately since it was deleted 30 days ago, we cannot restore the URL at this point, so there’s no way to add a redirect to it.

  I’d just urge you to look for any “in-the-wild” links to the old site, and correct those links if you can.
