Help with deleting the old and creating the new

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I need your help to make a few changes in my wordpress existence but wanted to make sure I took the right steps so I don’t delete anything unnecessarily.

    I first signed up in 2011 with my spicedvanilla.wordpress.com blog. I stopped using it in 2014 as I set up lightprism.wordpress.com instead as my online photo gallery and blog.

    I now want to set up a proper website with my own domain name (hariscoussidis.com) – with getting a paid plan.

    My questions:

    1) I want to set up hariscoussidis.com and:
    – be the admin as hariscoussidis.com
    – still want to have lightprism.wordpress as my blog but it will be under hariscoussidis.com

    2) I want to delete spicedvanilla.worpress.com but I’m scared that by doing so I will also delete my other blog as I’m the admin as spicedvanilla. How can I delete spicedvanilla without compromising lightprism.wordpress.com

    I hope this makes sense. Cheers, Haris

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

    Hi Haris,

    1) I want to set up hariscoussidis.com and:
    – be the admin as hariscoussidis.com
    – still want to have lightprism.wordpress as my blog but it will be under hariscoussidis.com

    – When you purchase the WordPress plan you will be the admin/owner of the site (If I’m understanding your question correctly).

    – Once you get hariscoussidis.com registered you would want to look into domain mapping https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    2) I want to delete spicedvanilla.worpress.com but I’m scared that by doing so I will also delete my other blog as I’m the admin as spicedvanilla. How can I delete spicedvanilla without compromising lightprism.wordpress.com

    Deleting spicedvanilla shouldn’t delete your other WordPress site. However, for a peace of mind, set lightprisim as your Primary Blog before you delete spicedvanilla. You can do this by going to your Account Settings > Primary Site.
