  I changed my web address from eventsatstoneypoint.wordpress.com to stoneypoint.wordpress.com and when i go to that in my address bar from a different tab it is saying that it no long exists and that ‘the author has deleted the site’ when I did not delete my site and in my account settings it does say that that is my web address.

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

  It does not look like the name change was successful. I see eventsatstoneypoint.wordpress.com as an active site.

  This is because stoneypoint.wordpress.com is not available as a WordPress.com URL. It was created and deleted over 5 years ago by the original owner.

  We do not reuse or reassign blog names on WordPress.com. Please refer to this support page for more information:

  Keep in mind, we also offer an upgrade for custom domain names and you can use any WordPress.com blog URL underneath a custom domain. For more details about how domain mapping works, see this guide:
