  I’m looking to change the url of the blog. I attempted to change the name via the “My Blogs” feature, but the only option that appeared was “Leave Blog”. Is there another way to change the url?

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

  Hi there. If you’re talking about the URL, http://wictsementoringblog.com/, you can’t change that. Custom domains are registered for a year at a time and cannot be changed the way the free WordPress.com URL can be changed.

  To have a different URL you’ll need to register a new custom domain at full price and have it mapped to your blog and then you can either let the old one expire or cancel it (or you can keep both if you want).
