  Hi. I’ve had a site for a few years now (www.meganlittledoodles.wordpress.com) and I recently updated it. Once I finished updating, I went to go change the URL to meganpatsel.wordpress.com and come to find: my entire site doesn’t exist anymore. I can’t find any of my old posts, many of which were very special to me! Please help…

  HI there,

  Your content is all on https://meganpatsel.wordpress.com/. That’s how changing a site address works. All your content moves to the new address, and the old address is either emptied or deleted, depending on which option you select during the process.

  https://meganpatsel.wordpress.com/ has all your posts, pages, comments, etc.

  https://meganslittledoodles.wordpress.com/ is empty, not deleted, and still in your account.
