  Hello all,

  I have the following two blogs under the same username:

  http://fuentefiltros.wordpress.com (which has no content)
  http://fuentefiltros2.wordpress.com (with all the content and widgets already set up)

  How can I “merge” one blog address into the other in the most efficient method possible so that the final result is as follows:

  http://fuentefiltros.wordpress.com (with all the content and widgets already set up)
  http://fuentefiltros2.wordpress.com (permanently deleted)

  Does this make sense?

  Thanks in advance.

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

  Yes. The way to do this is to export copies of all the content out of the blog you don’t want it in and import it into the blog you do want it in.

  Then you can either delete the blog you do not want or make it private and use it as a backup blog.

  To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Yes, I was recently made aware of how to transfer one blog of one user to another blog of another user, but I thought that since I already had these blogs under the same user there might be a quicker and more efficient way to “merge” the address of one blog and delete the other one in the process.

  Too bad I didn’t realize before that there was a much easier way to transfer the previous blog to another user so I wouldn’ve had to perform the export-import and readjustment of widgets and everything only one time.

  Anyway, thanks for expertise.
