  Hi I bought a domain from wordpress called mitalikalra.com where i’ve been posting blogs. i then decided to get a new domain called rougelle.com and linked the two such that mitalikalra.com redirects to rougelle.com. i’m looking to unlink the two domains. it would be great if the old posts from mitalikalra.com can get transfered to rougelle.com but if not i’m fine with that. i just want to have two separate blogs. Would be great if someone can guide. thanks

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

  Hi!

  Currently, both domains are attached to your site mitalikalra.wordpress.com. Did you want to have all of your blog posts stay on rougelle.com and then spin off mitalikalra.com as a completely new site? If so, you’ll want to add a blog to your account here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-new-site to-an-existing-account

  Then, we can transfer mitalikalra.com to that new blog leaving rougelle.com on the blog currently setup with all of your posts.

  Hi!

  I went ahead and moved mitalikalra.com to amourjus.wordpress.com for you. You can see this here:

  Your domains should now be loading separate sites! If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

  hey Jeremy

  sorry to bother you – just wanted to clarify if the “followers” on my blog mitalikalra.wordpress.com (ie rougelle.com) would continue to remain on rougelle.com; if so, would it be possible to swap the two blogs as I’d like to remove the followers currently on rougelle.com. Is there any other way to delete followers?

  thanks!

  Your blog followers are attached to the WordPress.com blog URL. So, currently, your followers are assigned to mitalikalra.wordpress.com. Since rougelle.com is assigned to that blog, your followers are assigned to that domain as well.

  For example, if we switched the domains so that mitalikalra.com was attached to mitalikalra.wordpress.com, the followers would be attached to mitalikalra.com (since it’s the same mitalikalra.wordpress.com blog). Does that make sense?

  If I understand correctly, you would like me to move the followers from mitalikalra.wordpress.com to amourjus.wordpress.com. This way, rougelle.com would not have any attached followers (since it’s on the site mitalikalra.wordpress.com). Is that correct?

  hey Jeremey

  You’re right. I want to remove a couple of specific followers from rougelle.com but since that may not be an option I would request if you can make the swap.

  thanks a lot!

  Just to confirm (because it’s irreversable), regarding the swap, you would like me to move all followers from mitalikalra.wordpress.com to amourjus.wordpress.com. Correct?

  correct. basically i don’t want any of the old followers on rougelle.com. they can be moved to mitalikalra.com.

  thanks

  Hi Jeremy

  I don’t understand what happened – why does mitalikalra.com again redirect to rougelle.com?

  I had requested the two blogs to be unlinked; primarily for the purpose of removing the existing followers from rougelle.com.

  The two blogs now seem to have been merged instead? I would like the followers on rougelle.com to be moved to mitalikalra.com. If that is not possible i don’t mind the followers being deleted permanently from rougelle.com. You had already unlinked the two blogs – i’m sorry if there was a confusion!

  thanks!

  Hi!

  The two domains (mitalikalra.com and rougelle.com) are loading completely separate pages on my side. Are they still loading the same page for you? If so, can you try clearing your browser’s cache?

  They should not be redirecting to each other.

  Hi Jeremey

  thanks. they are loading separately now. However the site stats are the same for both blogs. is that ok? Also wanted to confirm if rougelle.com no longer has any followers and the old followers have been moved to mitalikalra.com?

  thanks

  I think you haven’t yet done the swap, right?

  The followers are associated with amourjus.wordpress.com, which is associated with the mitalikalra.com domain. You can view them here:

  However the site stats are the same for both blogs. is that ok?

  The site stats should be loading two different pages:

  mitalikalra.com: https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog=82560972

  rougelle.com: https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog=77846075
