  I began a new site at the address “monpullscout” in order to make a simulation for my daughter business.
  Since she wanted to create her own wordpress site, I changed “monpullscout” in “brouillonmonpullscout”, hoping she could reuse the address “monpullscout” that I had abandoned.
  Alas, impossible for her to use this address or for me to restaure the ancient “monpullscout”
  Could you help us ? We want that the address “monpullscout.wordpress.com” become available again.
  Thank you overmuch

  Hi there,

  When you change site addresses, the old address is deleted and is no longer available for anyone to use again:

  You will need to create a different site address for your site or purchase a custom domain to get the same name without the .wordpress.com attached

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Thank you very much,

  Your advice “purchase a custom domain” was the right solution !
  It has been done and you can now go directly to :
