  Hi,
  I just changed my blog URL and username thinking the content/stream of old blog posts would remain, but it hasn’t. How do I get my old content on my new URL?

  Thanks!

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

  1) what is the old URL?

  2) what is the new URL?

  We can’t help till we can look at them both AND know how you changed the URL. Did you do export/import? Or just change the URL from the dashboard?

  The old URL is http://acapriciouslife.wordpress.com/
  And I’ve just realised the content is gone from there too!! Ok, now I’m panicking!

  The new URL Is chloemareehiggins.wordpress.com

  I just changed the URL (and username) from the dashboard.

  I see two posts saying “Hnf” in the second blog, nothing in the new one. Try going to your Dashboard on the old blog and exporting all the contents, on Dashboard under Tools. Then on the dashboard of the new one, click Import.
