  When my posts are searched online it says the author deleted the site. I didn’t. Can anyone help? Thanks.

  Hi there,

  Can you mention the link for the WordPress.com site/blog you are facing trouble with.

  It was the following:

  https://jonathanstephens.wordpress.com

  Then this weekend I changed the URL address to this:

  https://plaidx2.wordpress.com

  I didn’t delete any of the posts, but now none of the articles can be found via google search and my traffic has gone to zero.

  I looked and all of the articles are still there, but not able to be found by anyone.

  Hi there,

  The content is visible on the site URL that you changed to:

  https://plaidx2.wordpress.com/

  When you decided to change the blog URL, https://jonathanstephens.wordpress.com/ is automatically deleted and is no longer available for use:

  https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  Are you saying that you wanted to keep that URL?
