  I first had a blog, then I added a website, but I recently redirected my website to another manager. My blog is now missing.

  I don’t see any WordPress.com sites under your account here.

  What is the URL of the site with the problem?

  I had a blog at GwendolynsPerspective.wordpress.com. After a year and 1/2 or so I purchased a domain name. The domain name was GwendolynsPerspective.com. I recently redirected that domain to another site. But where is my blog that existed before that?

  The site is still at gwendolynsperspective.wordpress.com but the site’s owner will need to set that back as the primary address so it stops redirecting: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/#set-a-primary-address

  You are not current logged in under the account which owns the site though.

  If you do not recall the password for the correct account, we have some options for you at https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/

  I don’t want the actual website to be directed back. I want only the blog to be directed back. They are actually two different things for me

  Right, that’s what I’m referring to.

  Currently, gwendolynsperspective.wordpress.com still exists, but it’s redirected to https://www.gwendolynsperspective.com

  The WordPress.com account which owns that can stop the redirection, allowing the two sites to exist separately: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/#set-a-primary-address

  You are not current logged in under the account which owns the site though.

  Just logging in here so I can see our conversation from the right account. I’m not technologically savy. So this is all pretty foreign to me. I don’t want to screw up the new site that I direction my paid domain name to.

  That’s the correct account. :)

  If you don’t want https://gwendolynsperspective.wordpress.com to continue to redirect to https://www.gwendolynsperspective.com/ just set gwendolynsperspective.wordpress.com as the site’s primary address following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/domains/#set-a-primary-address
