  That’s not what I’m trying to do.

  We have a site with a domain that we pay for and premium plan we pay for. I want to move that over to a new site we created.

  Hi there,

  So I want to transfer the Premium account and domain

  You are already an Administrator on copa2017.wordpress.com, so that helps things move forward a little easier.

  The domain coloradopeoplesalliance.org is currently under your ownership.

  The Premium plan for coloradopeoplesalliancedotorg.wordpress.com is owned by lizethcopa. I can add that plan to your new site by transferring it to your ownership — but I would need to email lizethcopa for permission. Are you happy for me to do so?

  Once both the domain and plan are under your ownership I will be able to connect them to copa2017.wordpress.com.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Hi there,

  Just wanted to give you a quick update. I received confirmation from lizethcopa and have transferred the Premium plan to your ownership. Both the plan and domain have been added to copa2017.wordpress.com.

  You can now set coloradopeoplesalliance.org to be the primary domain for the site using these instructions:

  Come back to me if you have any problems!
