  My site name was networkbuddy.wordpress.com but for some reason changed to networkbuddycouk.wordpress.com and when I went to https://networkbuddy.wordpress.com it said the authors deleted the site but I didn’t??? My domain was networkbuddy.wordpress.com can you please change it back to that because that was the domain I had before.

  It says I am not allowed to change it back to networkbuddy.wordpress.com

  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there!

  The sites you mention are not connected to one another. networkbuddy.wordpress.com was owned and deleted by another user years ago. The site you created very recently is networkbuddycouk.wordpress.com. Perhaps you searched for networkbuddy.wordpress.com but didn’t notice that it wasn’t available when selecting the available addresses that were suggested to you when creating the site.

  Either way, networkbuddy.wordpress.com is not available and can’t be used. You can follow the instructions here to change your site address to something that’s available. Alternatively, you can upgrade your site to a WordPress.com plan and register a custom domain.

  With a yearly WordPress.com plan, like WordPress.com Personal, you will get a free domain registration for the first year. A WordPress.com plan will also remove ads from your site and allow you to upload more media files with an increased storage limit.

  You can upgrade using the link below:

  Once upgraded, follow the steps here to register a custom domain for your site:
