    Re – skyhightoronto.wordpress.com email (email visible only to moderators and staff) user name mearley2014
    Earlier this year I set up a free WP site – skyhightoronto.wordpress.com as a practice site. Yesterday I set up a new Premium site with custom URL ispytoronto.ca, and made that domain primary. Now the two are mixed up. I would now like to delete all aspects of the former site including the name skyhightoronto.wordpress.com and be left with a new site ready to be set up with content. Please advise if deleting (tools) is correct action. Also advise if log in is same as it was or whether it changes.

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

    Hi there,

    The address skyhightoronto.wordpress.com is the free WordPress.com address for your site with the custom domain ispytoronto.ca. (We use that WordPress.com address to make sure we keep track of your site’s content even if you change or stop using your custom domain.)

    If you want to start over with it now that you have your domain and Premium plan there, deleting everything is the way to go. (We can help you with that, or we outline a DIY method for doing it here: Empty Site) You can also change your site’s free WordPress.com address if you’d like — although you’re the only person who sees that address, since visitors will see your primary domain ispytoronto.ca.

    If you prefer, I can help you move your domain and Premium plan to a different WordPress.com site on your account instead. (You can choose from any of your sites on the My Sites page or you can create a new site from there.)

    In any case, you’ll continue to log in with the same WordPress.com username/account to manage that site. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
