How do I change my wordpress.com address?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I need to change my wordpress.com address. Right now, it is wwwarchlever.wordpress.com and I want to get rid of the 3 w’s at the front so it is just archlever.wordpress.com.

    Despite the simple change, there seems to be no simple answer available on how to do so.

  • Your domain, http://www.archlever.wordpress.com, will always be redirected to archlever.wordpress.com, so you can feel free to use either version on your business cards or elsewhere. However, archlever.wordpress.com will be the one that viewers will see.

    Redirecting the first version of your URL to the second version helps to ensure that search engines index your site properly.

    Don’t hesitate to contact me again if you need anymore help.

    Hi Rootjosh,

    Thanks for the response. I don’t know if you noticed, but the problem I’m trying to solve for is the 3 w’s in front of the word archlever. I don’t want them there. So, when I typed “wwwarchlever.wordpress.com” in my original request, that wasn’t a misspelling.

    How do I change the name to get rid of those 3 “w”s?

    Note also that archlever.wordpress.com says that the site is no longer available.

    Ahhhhhh, I admit, I totally thought that was a typo.
