Moving domains from one wordpress blog to another
-
My domains currently point to my winekitziris.wordpress.com blog and I now want to switch them to my new blog at winekitzottawa.wordpress.com. None of the on-line support seems to deal with this specific question.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Well, holy cow. I went to Store – domains – upgrade & tried the “transfer to another site” option. I ended up with my new content at winekitzottawa.wordpress.com completely replaced by the old content from winekitziris.wordpress.com. I now cannot find my new content and hope it has not been lost.
Before I screw up any more I will wait to hear from the tech gurus for assistance.
Thank you.

Hi there!
Can you check if your content is still mixed up? Moving a domain can take several hours to fully sort out, let me know if it doesn’t look right still!
-
Yes it is. both the old and new blog show the old blog content. The new blog content is still missing or gone. I appreciate your help.
-
Alright! I just took a look and it seems like both sites have the domain mapped currently, you haven’t lost any content it’s just an issue with the Domain Mapping upgrade being transferred.
I’ve straightened this out on our end and you should be all set now!
Let me know if you have any other problems! :)

Wow, Shauna. That is fabulous. I don’t know what I did wrong or how you fixed it, but I’m ecstatic. Thank you so very much.

Actually, there is one more thing you could help me with please, Shawna. I just checked and found that while my http://www.winekitziris.ca domain has been switched to my new site, my http://www.winekitziris.com domain still points to the old content. After my fiasco in trying to redirect domains, I hesitate to attempt this myself and would appreciate if you could do it at your end. Thanks very much.
-
Hmm. It looks like something happened with your domains on our end. I’m going to ask the team to take a look at it and I’ll let you know was soon as we have your domains pointing to your new site!
Thanks so much for your patience with this issue!

Hi there!
Our team got this all sorted out for you! Sorry about that! There was a bug in the domain transfer process, so you should have no problem moving these domains your self in the future!
Let me know if I can help with anything else! :)

Not fixed yet. Both domains are now linking to my old content blog at winekitziris.wordpress.com instead of the new content at winekitzottawa.wordpress.com. And now the http://www.winekitziris.com domain has become the primary instead of http://www.winekitziris.ca which should be the primary. I’m pretty confused. Help please!
-
Now my new content is coming up ok, but the primary domain continues to show as http://www.winekitziris.com instead of http://www.winekitziris.ca.

Hi there!
Sorry for the delay! It looks like you figured out how to change your primary domain.
Let me know if I can help with anything else!
