  Hi, I had changed my blog address from readandreflect.wordpress.com to silvermusing.wordpress.com using the Change Blog Address option from the My Blogs tab in WP Admin. I had changed the address before publishing my first post. My issue is that a few fellow bloggers still see my old site address readandreflect.wordpress.com instead of silvermusing.wordpress.com and therefore, aren’t able to reach my blog at times. Can anyone please suggest what should I do to resolve this? Thanks!

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

  My issue is that a few fellow bloggers still see my old site address readandreflect.wordpress.com

  That site has been deleted, so it isn’t clear to me what it is that those people see.

  Also, you will want to change the site linked to your username (which is currently the deleted site). You can do that in your account settings under “Web Address” https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Ohh, I guess this should resolve the issue.
  I am quite new so didn’t know about these settings. Thank you so much for your help. :)

  You’re welcome.

  Just so you know, if you left comments while your username was still linked to your deleted site, those comments will remain with the old link. Only new comments will show your updated link.

  Best wishes.
