how do I un-direct my old blog url to my new blog url (mapping existing domains)
-
Hello.
About a year ago I set up one of my wordpress.com blogs (www.bonarfamilyresidency.wordpress.com) to automatically direct to my new wordpress.com blog (www.ifeelgreattoday.wordpress.com). that upgrade has expired and I would now like the bonarfamilyresidency blog to be on it’s own as a separate blog (i will be importing some of the posts from my current blog and using that bonarfamilyresidency blog as a static archive blog).I cant find how to undo the redirect to the ifeelgreattoday blog even though I haven’t paid for the renewal. it seems as if i have to pay for the redirect only to cancel it?
how can i use bonarfamilyresidency.wordpress.com as it’s own blog again?
thanks
aliya
Blog url: http://ifeelgreattoday.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

hi thanks. I go to that page and it has these options:
-change the primary domain of my blog (one of which is the previously redirected blog which is expired)
-or renew the site redirect(see this screenshot: http://bonarfamilyresidency.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/screen-shot-2012-10-31-at-4-34-20-pm.png)
but i cannot delete my site redirect? setting the old url as my primary blog also does not work to end the site redirect.i don’t understand — the site redirect is expired but it still is redirecting.
thoughts?how do i remove the site redirect?

From down at the bottom of the screen, where it says “Site Redirect,” click the delete button.

when i press the delete button it says that I do not have permission to delete this. and then it directs me here to “support” for further help:
“You do not have permission to delete redirects for this blog. Make sure you are logged in as the same user used to purchase the redirect. Please contact support for further help”
i only have one wordpress user and this is definitely the same user name who purchased that upgrade originally.
sorry for the delay in continuing this thread. I was directed back to this page once I tried to delete the site redirect.

Hi there,
A redirect should not be active if it’s expired.
When I go to http://bonarfamilyresidency.wordpress.com/ is not redirecting anywhere for me. If you still find that it’s redirecting to ifeelgreattoday.wordpress.com it may be due to browser caching. Could you please try clearing your cache?
Does it redirect in a different browser than the one you normally use? If so, you may need to flush your machine’s DNS. The technique for doing that depends on your OS, so just let me know what OS you’re using and I can send instructions.
I also removed the errant site redirect upgrade from Store > Domains and it should now be gone.
Please let me know how it goes.
