People following my old blog name
-
Hello,
A while ago I changed my blog name and deleted social media posts that had my old blog name in (it’s a free WordPress blog account). However recently I have been following some blogs, but when they follow me back it’s coming up as they have followed my old blog name. Can anyone help me with this issue?
ThanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
That result might be due, in part at least, to your site not presently having a published title. The site title may added at Customize > Site Identity, as described in the Changing your Site Title and Tagline section of the General Settings support page.

Hi
I did actually change this after you suggested this was the issue but I’m still getting people following my old name -
but when they follow me back it’s coming up as they have followed my old blog name.
Where are you seeing followers under the old name?
-
On my WordPress app, on the notifications section. Over the last week or so I’ve had one person follow my new blog name and around 15 follow the old blog name which I haven’t used in about 6 months

Hi there,
Go to the Account Settings page at https://wordpress.com/me/account/
In the Website Address field, does it show the URL for the old site or the new one?
That is the URL that’s linked to your username when you comment somewhere, and the site that people would follow if they click the Follow option directly from the notifications drop-down.
