HELP! Changed my username and now my blog seems to be gone
-
I’m not super savvy (obviously) but here’s what I managed to do. I changed my username this morning and now my blog has totally disappeared. I can still see the stats for it, but I can’t see any of my posts. Is there anyway I can undo this? I was finally starting to get some followers and traffic and it breaks my heart to think it might be gone.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To clarify, I’ve been reading a lot about deleting blogs and how those can’t be recovered, but that’s not what I did. I just changed my username (to my blog name: “mostlyhealthyliving”) but now all the content is gone from that blog.

Hey there!
Reference this article to see if it will help solve your problem.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/It sounds like you might have created a new, empty blog when you created a new username.
Hope this helps!

I think that’s what I may have done. But my new username happened to be my old blog name and once I changed my username, it seemed to have replaced my old content-filled blog with a completely empty one at the same address. I’m recovering cached entries from Google while they exist and already starting to rebuild but it’s a big loss. Wish there was some way to just restore it.

To make things extra, super-fun, I don’t seem to be able to publish any posts to the new empty mostlyhealthyliving.wordpress.com either…

Ok… it seems like it’s back now. Although super-buggy (e.g. when I go to make a new post or update and post and it gives me the option to view it, it tells me it can’t find the page). Just backed everything up.

Looked into this and there was definitely a blog duplication issue during your name change.
I’m going to report this to the developers, as I think there may be some new bugs here, but your sites should be all set now. :)
