  • Unknown's avatar

    when I comment on someones blog it leaves my name as a link but the address it links to is an old blog i deleted so if someone clicks my name the goto wp home page and are told the blog is deleted. how do I change it so it will bring them to my current blog?

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

    This is not a retrocative change. All previous comments will still be linked to the original site. Here’s how to link your username to your blog in your blog Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

    Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.

    I have done that a while ago actually the website was correct for my current blog but when i goto something i commented on and click my name link it tells me its a deleted blog

    This is not retrocative and when I click your username I cobbect to an active blog. Are the comments that you clicked on that produced the deleted blog error message old comments linked to another blog that you did delete?

    edit: “cobbect ” was meant to be “connect” sorry I clicked the wrong key :(

    I think its fixed now …..any old comments I made that linked to the old blog will still link to the deleted blog correct? and any comments i leave since the link address change will goto the active blog correct?
