Link incorrect when commenting on other WP.com blogs
-
This is a really odd question that I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere for, but when I leave a comment on another person’s WP.com blog with the native WP.com comment system, the link back to my site leads to an old blog post instead of my blog’s URL.
I have a self-hosted WP.org blog, but when leaving a comment it says I am using my WP.com account. However, the URL should be the same either way (lovelyliterature.com), but instead it goes to a specific post every time (http://lovelyliterature.com/2013/12/24/top-ten-tuesday-books-we-want-from-santa/).
I can’t figure out how to change this setting to redirect comments to the proper page. If I go to my WP profile, it has my URL linked correctly.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is your WordPress.COM username account that you are logged in here under https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/amengelhart
Unfortunately, you have it linked your username to a site that’s not even hosted here http://lovelyliterature.com/2013/12/24/top-ten-tuesday-books-we-want-from-santa/
That site at http://lovelyliterature.com/ is not hosted here at WordPress.COM and you are posting to the wrong support forum.
lovelyliterature.com is hosted by ReliableSite.

dns1.name-services.comWordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

Hi there,
Right now, your WordPress.com account settings list this link as your Web Address:
http://lovelyliterature.com/2013/12/24/top-ten-tuesday-books-we-want-from-santa/
You can go to that account settings page and change your Web Address to http://lovelyliterature.com/ to fix that. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

@timethief — since this issue is with the WordPress.com account settings and commenting on WordPress.com blogs, it’s an appropriate issue to discuss in the forums here. :)
