Need to get rid of two empty sites, without losing the third.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have two sites that are empty, but still have a heading. They are the Montreal Raging Grannies and My Blog. How can I get rid of them without losing the third site which has a similar name.
    The third site, I wish to use is tagged raginggranniesmontreal.ca, and has content. I also have a problem with it, as there is a page which is called activities, which sometimes comes up empty. I thought I had deleted it, as I cannot find it on Manage my blogs page.

    I think I am getting too old for this!!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi!

    Happy to help on all points. Let’s get the blog deletions squared away first. To recap, you have the following sites on your account:

    https://raginggranniesmontreal.wordpress.com/

    https://themontrealraginggrannies.wordpress.com/ (with domain themontrealraginggrannies.com)

    https://raginggranniesmontrealdotcom.wordpress.com/ (with domain raginggranniesmontreal.com)

    https:/jeanrutka.wordpress.com/ (with domain jeanrutka.com)

    Could you clarify which two sites you’re referring to?

    Montreal Raging Grannies
    raginggranniesmontreal.com

    My Blog
    raginggranniesmontreal.wordpress.com

    Neither one of the above have content. the following site has a photo heading and Activities, Unconvention, History, etc. The Activities page is empty.

    Hi Jean,

    Thanks for clarifying those sites.

    For the site “My Blog” at raginggranniesmontreal.wordpress.com, since you have no content on the site and you’ve said you do not need it anymore, I deleted the site without issues.

    Next, for the site “Montreal Raging Grannies,” there are two parts to this site:

    1. The custom domain — raginggranniesmontreal.com
    2. The free site — raginggranniesmontrealdotcom.wordpress.com

    The domain raginggranniesmontreal.com is still good through September 23rd, and if we delete it you won’t be able to get it back. So for now, I’ve moved it to your blog that does have content at themontrealraginggrannies.com. Anyone that visits raginggranniesmontreal.com will get redirected to your primary domain, themontrealraginggrannies.com

    I’ve deleted the free site raginggranniesmontrealdotcom.wordpress.com you requested to be removed.

    the following site has a photo heading and Activities, Unconvention, History, etc. The Activities page is empty.
    —–
    themontrealraginggrannies.com

    I’m looking at the list of all pages on your site here:

    https://themontrealraginggrannies.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

    And I do not see a page named Activities. The other pages appear to be working well.

    However, I am seeing this notice on your Home page:

    That “Nothing Found” notice is begin displayed because you currently have no Posts written. If you don’t plan to use Posts on the site, I recommend setting up a static front page. We have steps on how to do that here:

    Set the Homepage

    Dear Alex,

    I followed the directions for a static front page, now I have an empty
    two home pages. Neither page has an edit on it where I could
    write on it. When I attempted to do this on the “Home” page I set up
    it didn’t appear when I tried to review it on the site.
    I am getting really anxious – I spent an earlier part of my life doing computer art – I cannot understand why I am not able to follow the directions. Can you please help me some more.

    Thank you

    Hi again!

    You’re just missing one important step. :)

    Visit your Reading Settings here:

    https://themontrealraginggrannies.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

    In the first option, called “Front page displays,” select “A static page” then use the dropdown to select “Home” as your front page.

    (Here’s an example)

    Then scroll to the bottom and save changes. This will display the Home page you created and remove the unneeded homepage.
