  • Unknown's avatar

    When I created my domain I entered Loveforart.wordpress.com but instead I got Lovefoarart.wordpress.com. I need it to be in the correct form which is Loveforart.wordpress.com so I can start using my page correctly. I hope you can help me wiht this inquire. Thanks!

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

  • Hi there,

    The domain loveforart.wordpress.com has already been registered by another user.

    When you were in the process of trying to choose this same domain, WordPress suggested an alternative name for your site, which is why you probably got “lovefoarart.wordpress.com” as your domain.

  • Hi there,

    The domain, Loveforart.wordpress.com, already exists as @pauloeaquino mentioned above. That address was already registered in 2010, so you won’t be able to use it.

    When you were in the process of trying to choose this same domain, WordPress suggested an alternative name for your site, which is why you probably got “lovefoarart.wordpress.com” as your domain.

    Our domain name suggestion feature doesn’t work by injecting random letters that don’t make sense into the middle of an address. It either suggests completely alternative terms if a synonym for the word in the address can be found, or it appends a word or number to the end of the address.

    lovefoarart.wordpress.com is most likely just a spelling error :)

  • Thanks for the clarification @kokkieh :)

    When I opened the account I was awared of this and I decided to choose Artforlove.org but it didn’t work and I ended up with this error. Is there a way for me to change the domain for something else to correct the error? Thanks

  • If you want to use a custom domain like artforlove.org, you need to buy one of our paid plans. At the moment you are on the free plan, so you can only use an available free URL.

    Go to My Site ->Plans to buy the plan that you want to use, and then you can register a custom domain from My Site ->Domains:

    I did pay for this one and it gave the loveforart.org option but instead I got the lovefoarart.wordpress.com?

    Can you make changes to the name to correct the domain name within the already paid plan that i bought? I did pay for it so I need to know if the name can be rename withing the same account without having to purchase a different one. Can you fix the name by using an available URL without me having to purchase a different one? Thanks!

  • I did pay for this one and it gave the loveforart.org option

    There are no upgrades in your account. If there were you would see them listed on the Purchases page:

    https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/

    The only site in your account is the free site, lovefoarart.wordpress.com, and that site was created in May 2017.

    The domain, loveforart.org, is not registered anywhere on the web.

    Can you make changes to the name to correct the domain name within the already paid plan that i bought?

    You can change the free URL to any other available address by following the instructions at the link below, but there is no paid plan in your account and we don’t even have a credit card on file for you, so you’ve never paid anything to us using this username account.

    If you have a site with a paid plan, that site belongs to a different username.

    Thanks for the information; I was able to change the address.

    In reference to the amount that I made and I’m refering to…. I did paid $18.00 when I opened this account so I don’t understand why my information doesn’t appear. Either way this is a good way for me to start my organization and I look forwad to expand with wordpress.com in the future. Thanks again!

    Can you also let me know why the Help Us page is not coming up neither appears in the menu when i made it public? Thanks

  • I did paid $18.00 when I opened this account so I don’t understand why my information doesn’t appear.

    Is it possible you have another account besides this one? I don’t even see stored payment details in your account. Did you receive a receipt when you paid that?

    Your site has a custom menu set up, and that menu is set that new pages need to be added manually before they will show.

    Click on My Sites, then click the Customize button next to Themes. Click on Menus ->Primary. That is the active menu on your site. You can click Add Items ->Pages to add the missing page, or you can check the box at the bottom that says to automatically add new top-level pages if you want any new page you publish to go into the menu automatically.
