  I changed my site’s address on wordpress from previousname.wordpress.com to newname.wordpress.com, and now every page just says ‘Something unexpected happened while accessing this website. It looks like it doesn’t have an active domain connection upgrade to link the requested domain name to the WordPress.com site.’
  What did I do wrong? I don’t have my own domain, i just use the wordpress ones

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hello @kabbaagepatch!

  It looks like your issue resolved itself, most likely due to a temporary caching problem.

  I understand you’re currently using the default subdomain on your Free plan. However, if you decide to upgrade to one of our paid plans, you’ll be able to register a custom domain, free for the first year, and use it as your site’s primary address.

  If you’re interested, just let us know and we’ll be happy to help!
