  In the setting tab there is a place where you can change the url for your blog if you want to rename it. I have done so and saved it but the old url is still showing/working.

  I’m wondering if someone could fix this for me or tell me what to do to make it work. I actually tried to change it a couple days ago and it hasn’t taken effect yet. Should it have changed by now?

  Thank you
  Barbara

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

  What was the original URL and which URL did you change it to?

  Did you use this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  That option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again.

  If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, and retain and page rank the blog has or authority your have gained in the niche then you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade.
