I tried to change the name of my blog annacoralee.wordpress.com to pressplayevolution.wordpress.com but something went wrong and now it says the link pressplayevolution.wordpress.com doesn’t exist any longer. Please help, I want the link to be changed as soon as possible please. Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Okay, I have that fixed. http://pressplayevolution.wordpress.com should go somewhere now.
However, you did not change the name of annacoralee.wordpress.com to pressplayevolution.wordpress.com. What you did was set up a new blog with the name pressplayevolution.wordpress.com. At this point, there is no way to go backwards and change annacoralee.wordpress.com to pressplayevolution.wordpress.com. You can export your content from one to the other. But once a URL has been used, it is permanent and cannot be retroactively applied to an existing blog.
Does that make sense?

Thanks, meanwhile I found where to change the blog link so I now changed it to pressplayevolutionblog.wordpress.com.
It was weird thought because I had deleted my other empty blog coraleeguidance.wordpress.com, then when I went to change the link, it would only let me choose to change the coraleeguidance.wordpress.com link to the new name, but obviously then it was marked as deleted? So even now if I transferred my current active blog (as I want to keep my subscribers and stats) would it even be possible to transfer from pressplayevolutionblog to pressplayevolution? With all my subscribers and stats? Please advice, thanks

Ok thanks, so could you kindly do that? Although I’m still confused about the fact that a deleted blog link was available to be changed to the new name and then that link became itself deleted… so now if I have it migrated, will that delete my blog? Obviously that would not be so good :) Basically I just want everything to be on the link pressplayevolution.wordpress.com, can this be done without problems ie content, subscribers and stats transferred from pressplayevolutionblog.wordpress.com to
pressplayevolution.wordpress.com? -
Let’s see if we can get this sorted out. I want to clarify that your Site title as set here:
https://pressplayevolution.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
does not change the URL of your site.
So the site coraleeguidance.wordpress.com has been deleted and you won’t be able to have a site at that URL, but you can still change the title of any of your sites to “coraleeguidance”. Does that clarify things?
It sounds like you want to migrate all of your content from pressplayevolutionblog.wordpress.com to pressplayevolution.wordpress.com. You can do this by following these instructions to export your content from pressplayevolutionblog:
And then follow these instructions to import that content into pressplayevolution:
Please note that you will need to manually set up the theme and widgets as these will not transfer through this export process.
Ok thanks, so could you kindly do that?
I’m happy to do that! Just to confirm, you’d like your stats and followers transferred from pressplayevolutionblog.wordpress.com to pressplayevolution.wordpress.com? Let me know when you’ve transferred your content and I can transfer your subscribers and stats!

thanks for your help. I have completed the transfer, please can you now transfer the stats and subscribers. Also can you delete the domain annacoralee.me as I do not wish for this blog to be found under that name any longer. Thanks
Also will this remain public? Or can this thread be made private as I also don’t want people to find this when googling the name anna coralee. Thanks

Hi there!
I was just taking a look before I did the transfer and it doesn’t look like there’s any content at pressplayevolution.wordpress.com.
Did you mean to transfer your stats and followers to pressplayevolutionblog.wordpress.com?
Also can you delete the domain annacoralee.me as I do not wish for this blog to be found under that name any longer.
I’d just like to confirm that you’re attempting to cancel the domain annacoralee.me. I can do that for you, however you should be aware that canceling a domain means you completely give up ownership of the domain. There is no guarantee the domain will become available to re-register after cancellation.
You are welcome to keep your domain with us and point it to a different site, if you’d like to keep using it in a different capacity.
If you would like to completely cancel your ownership of the domain name, please reply to confirm.

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
Please go ahead and delete annacoralee.me I won’t be using it again.
I meant for pressplayevolutionblog.wordpress.com to be transferred to pressplayevolution.wordpress.com as I don’t want the word “blog” in the URL.
Please go forward with the transfer from pressplayevolutionblog.wordpress.com >> pressplayevolution.wordpress.com
Kind regards,
Anna -

Okay. That’s what I thought. Can you please visit pressplayevolution.wordpress.com. It looks like there is no content there.
Before I transfer your stats and subscribers, please transfer your content to that site through the dashboard:
https://pressplayevolution.wordpress.com/wp-admin/import.php
Let me know if you’d like me to transfer your stats and subscribers without transferring your content.
