  I own a blog https://writealexthomas.wordpress.com

  Just a few minutes ago, I tried to change my address to https://soulspeek.wordpress.com

  I went to “My Blogs” and under “transfer” option I wrote down the desired user name of “Soulspeak”.

  To my horror, now all my blog posts in writealexthomas.wordpress.com have disappeared and soulspeak.wordpress.com is also not activated.

  Please help!!!

  Hi

  I can see the posts from https://writealexthomas.wordpress.com normally, are you still having trouble seeing them?

  The https://soulspeek.wordpress.com was deleted and unfortunatelly for you, will never be available anymore. Check: https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  for a security thing, export all your posts before doing anything else :)
  go to https://writealexthomas.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=export-choices

  As a guest I can easily see all my posts in https://writealexthomas.wordpress.com

  When I try to login to my wordpress account, I dont see any blog in my dashboard.

  Even the link you mentioned below gives an error message:
  https://writealexthomas.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=export-choices

  My blog has been accidentally transferred to the unactivated id of soulspeak.wordpress.com.

  I just want to get my blog posts back in writealexthomas.wordpress.com

  As of now, no blog posts are visible in dashboard of writealexthomas but I can see all posts in my blog normally as a guest.

  Okay. I’ve got that sorted out for you now. You should be back to normal.

  However, in the future please do not “transfer” a site when you are trying to change the URL. Use these instructions here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Also, be advised that once you change your site’s URL, the old site URL will no longer be available for use by you or any other WordPress.com user.
