  When I upload media the URL for the files use the old (wordpress.com) domain name instead of the new one. I’ve already connected the domain but need the media uploads to use the new custom domain as well.

  Example: https://oldwordpressdomainname1234567.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/image.jpg instead of https://customdomain.com/2022/11/image.jpg

  Hi there,

  This is what I’ve found:

  Hi. No, you cannot edit the URL of a media hosted by WordPress.com yourself.

  I can think of two solutions:
  – find an URL shortener that lets you edit the destination URL (so that while the short URL remains the same, you have the possibility of updating it)
  – host your PDF file elsewhere.

  Here’s the link
