  I am trying to change my domain name to my previous WordPress domain (I had two accounts). Is that possible?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi @mochamommi, can you share what site you’re hoping to change, and also share what you’re hoping to change it to? We’ll take a look and see if we can help you find your next steps.

  Hi @supernovia,

  I was trying to change my current mochamommi6.Wordpress.com to my mochamommi.Wordpress.com. Which is why I deleted the mochamommi one so the domain could become available. Lol I messed up 😫

  Hi there, @mochamommi!

  We cannot recycle or reassign site addresses (URLs) that have previously been used, even if the site is no longer active.

  What we can do here is reactivate the site https://mochamommi.wordpress.com and then you can move your content from mochamommi6.wordpress.com to mochamommi.wordpress.com. You would do that by exporting mochamommi6.wordpress.com and then importing it to mochamommi.wordpress.com. This would be the only way to use mochamommi.wordpress.com as your site address on that site.

  Let us know if you wish to restore the site mochamommi.wordpress.com.
