  I changed my domain and blog address. Site now says no longer available, deleted by authors. How do I repair this?

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

  Hello there, if you discarded your earlier site address as a part of changing your site address, it is not possible to recover. There’s a warning about that as a part of the process. https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-site-address/

  Sorry for no better news.

  Hi there,

  It looks like the address, rockstaraly.wordpress.com, somehow became duplicated, causing it to be attached to both a deleted and an active blog. I don’t see any address change in the logs for that site, though. To what did you change the address, and when?

  I’ve fixed the duplicate issue, and you should be able to access that site again now.

  @kokkieh – thanks for that and I see the process for changing site address has been streamlined. Excellent news. :)

  @justjennifer, it was moved to Calypso recently, yes, and the options were simplified as well. The old flow in WP-Admin is still available for now, should someone want to keep the old address, but the new flow will discard it by default.
