How can I access my new blog address?
-
I logged into my old wordpress account that I haven’t used since I set it up in 2011. I ended up adding a secondary blog address, but I was really looking to delete the old one. I updated my email address, profile information and also clicked for the new address to be my primary site…but, whenever I click the “My Sites” link, the new link for new address will not show up.
I’m not sure what the problem is, but I really just want to cancel the account altogether and start fresh with the new name/link…but, I don’t see anywhere to do so. Any help in simply deactivating the account so I can start over would be greatly appreciated.
Please help!

Hi there!
You can delete the old blog address through your Tools -> Delete Site page. You can access it by modifying this link: http://YOUR_WORDPRESS.COM_ADDRESS_HERE/wp-admin/tools.php?page=delete-blog
Insert your old WordPress.com address and that will take you to the page where you can delete your old site.
Here’s a tutorial I wrote on how to do that:

Also, do keep in mind that WordPress.com account cannot be deleted for security reasons.
