  Hello! I wanted to change the name of my WordPress.com blog and had already created the new URL (I now know it would have been easier to rename it).

  I had to export content from Site A and upload it to Site B. However, the image URLs still point to Site A, which I would like to erase/delete. Is there something I did wrong?

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

  timethief, thank you!

  Site A is pinkowltarot.wordpress.com (old site I want to get rid of)
  Site B is raqstarot.wordpress.com (this is the site I want to now use, and for which images are still pointing to Site A)

  i incorrectly named my free wordpress site christinemooresoprano.wordpress.com instead of christinemoorevoicelesson.wordpress.com. Aside from recreating it in a new free domain, is there a way to transfer what I have done to the new domain? thanks in advance.

  Hi obsidienne,

  The imported images should point to your new site raqstarot.wordpress.com — I asked our team to take a look at your site, to see if we can fix that for you. I’ll let you know as soon as I get an update about that. :)

  Hi obsidienne,

  We fixed up your site raqstarot.wordpress.com so the images all point to the files in that site’s media library. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
