Hi there,
Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host Anytime-fitness.co.uk on our WordPress.com managed hosting.
To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.
Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.
You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, but as it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/
The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!

Yes I know the hosting is through IONOS, where both doimains are held, my question is that i need to maintain the company presence in WordPress as this is the sourcxe of the Website, but I wanted clear instructions on how to transfer from the old domain to the new domain in word press, I am aware that the site title is a source for search engines and i can only see two URLS on the general settings tab, obviously media is still pointing to the old URLs, how can i complete this change ? and also maintain its ranking in SEO

Hey there,
The domain isn’t changed at a WordPress level, but at a server level. This guide here: https://www.ionos.co.uk/help/wordpress/wordpress-contracts-before-2792022-index/changing-the-domain-connected-to-managed-wordpress/ explains how to do this with IONOS.
I would recommend checking with their support that these are he right instructions.
On WordPress.com, you would just go to Upgrades > Domains > click on a domain > Make primary domain, and everything would switch with one click. We’d even automatically create a redirect of the old domain, to the new domain in the background (so long as the old domain is still registered) to help maintain traffic levels.
I hope this helps.
