  I have a sub domain that I would like to stop forwarding to my primary domain. I wish this secondary domain passed to function as the primary domain of another blog of mine. How should I do?

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

  The domain of my blog is “e-saudemental.com” but there is a secondary domain (pensatics.wordpress.com) that directs to this. Incidentally, this is the secondary domain that appears as URL of my blog but I would like to appear the primary domain.
  This secondary domain I would like to use it for another blog

  Hi,

  On WordPress.com, every site has a *.wordpress.com domain name—in your case pensatics.wordpress.com—and, as an upgrade, you can add on a full domain (like e-saudemental.com). Both addresses pull up the same site, though you can determine which of the two domains are “primary” (what users see in their address bar and what is the “official” address of your pages and posts).

  To separate the two, you would need to change your blog’s address by following these instructions http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ and being sure not to discard the current address.

  This will change the underlying wordpress.com address for e-saudemental.com and free up pensatics.wordpress.com for your future use.

  If you have any questions or need anything else, please let me know. Thanks!

  Please check this link:

  I could not find where I can change the address of my blog. Note that the blog “e-saudemental.com” appears as “pensatics.wordpress.com”. I’ve put the primary address for “e-saudemental.com” and wish I could make the “pensatics.wordpress.com” would direct no more for the “e-saudemental.com”.

  Where is the option to change the blog address??

  Thank you!

  Excuse me … I’ve found the page but still do not know how to do …
  The domain “e-saudemental.com” has already been purchased, so I can not put as “new address” the blog a domain as “e-saudemental.wordpress.com” …
  I just want to put “e-saudemental.com” as the single domain and release the “pensatics.wordpress.com” for a new blog.

  The domain – bought – is “e-saudemental.com” but the blog address that appears is “pensatics.wordpress.com”. How to change so that the domain and address are exactly the same, ie, “e-saudemental.com”?

  There will always be a *.wordpress.com address associated with your site—since e-saudemental.com is your “primary domain”, it is what your visitors will see.

  In short, this is expected, normal behavior if you’d like to use e-saudemental.com as your website’s address. The pensatics.wordpress.com is for internal use only in this case.

  Thanks.
