  Is it still possible to revert to my blog’s previous domain?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  It was very clear indicated when you changed the name of your blog, there was no way back. So no you can’t revert to the previous name, https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  Yes, I’m aware that it was clearly indicated.
  However, I was not in a financial position to renew it at that time due to pandemic-related circumstances.
  Can anything be done?
  Thanks.

  Hi @mainman2013, ah I bet @staartmees thought you were referring to a free address.

  I took a look at your account and found you’d previously bought a domain. It expired several months ago, though. After a redemption period, the domain was released, and somebody bought it.

  If that was you or your company, and you have access to change the domain’s settings, you can definitely go ahead and connect it to your site:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  If that wasn’t you and someone else owns the domain, I’m afraid there’s nothing more to do aside from contacting a domain broker to see if you can negotiate to get it back. That can be very costly, so it’s better to renew the domain instead of letting it go.
