  I have two sites: waikapupickles.wordpress.com (old) and waikapupicklesdotcom.wordpress.com (new). I want the old address for the new content, and then I want to delete the rest. SO the new content will be at waikapupickles.wordpress.com. Is this possible?

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

  Hi @pickleswaikapu, no problem. Let me confirm:

  Do you want us to copy the content from waikapupicklesdotcom.wordpress.com to waikapupickles.wordpress.com ? This doesn’t copy the layout or styles of the site, just the posts, pages, comments, and images.

  Then you can delete waikapupicklesdotcom.wordpress.com .

  If that works for you, let me know and I’ll work on this. Also, let us know if you want to empty waikapupickles.wordpress.com first.

  Thanks for your quick response!

  I was going to try deleting waikapupickles.wordpress.com, and then change the address of waikapupicklesdotcom.wordpress.com to the first address after it becomes available, but it seems not to be an option?

  Is it possible to have waikapupicklesdotcom point or somehow redirect to waikapupickles.wordpress.com?

  Thanks,
  Jen

  Yeah, do not delete it.

  Do you want us to move the content from the one site to the other? You can also do that yourself using these steps:
