Effect of Changing Site Name on Posts Already on My Blog
-
I’ve been reading about how to change a site name, but I’m not quite sure I understand how it will affect the posts I already have on my blog before I changed the site name. If I do not change the domain, just the site address (ex. example.wordpress.com to example2.wordpress.com), will I lose those posts? Is that what it means to have them be broken links? Or will the site name in the links to those posts just change?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
If you change your site address the site name you won’t loose the post but the sitename will change to your new one.
For example using your most recent post,
will change to
new-name-here.wordpress.com/2019/01/11/decluttered-in-december/This means that any place you shared the link with your old site address will no longer work, unless you use the Redirect upgrade https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/
