  Panic! Hi there. I need to transfer the domain http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.wordpress.com over to my current website of http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.com I was featured in a magazine, and they put the wrong web address. Now, with playing around with my wordpress.com website it seems to be deleted. I need this done ASAP. Any help would be great!

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

  pinkumbrelladesigns.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this blog.

  Do you have an XML file of the content from that blog?

  I’m asking because deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  Hey timethief, I have no backup for this site as I no longer use it. I use http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.com. Soooo frustrated right now.

  One more thing to add. All I did was click on delete this blog. I didn’t select and option, I only wanted to see what my options were, and it’s gone. Which, whatever I don’t use this one anymore, but is the name gone? Why would it delete it so fast without me saying “yes, I’m sure I want to delete this blog” or something along those lines. Very odd.

  This URL is working http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.com

  I have no backup for this site as I no longer use it.
  Is it the content that you want? If so, then you will have to copy and paste from Google’s cache.

  No. That website is fine. It was the http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.wordpress.com URL that I want to forward to the http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.com URL. I don’t want the content to forward over, just the URL.

  Hi there,

  When I visit:
  http://pinkumbrelladesign.wordpress.com/

  I see that you have a post pointing people to:
  http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.com/

  This is a pretty good stop-gap measure, but if you’d like a true site-redirect, you can purchase the site redirect upgrade (go to your Dashboard > Store and select that upgrade):
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  This will mean that when users type in pinkumbrelladesign.wordpress.com, they will be transferred automatically to http://www.pinkumbrelladesigns.com, which is what it sounds like you want, right?

  Cheers!
