  You can change your primary site from your Account Settings screen at https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Change the Primary Site field and click Save Account Settings button at the bottom.

  Hi chaitanyamsv, thank you for helping me with this. I tried what you suggested and it didn’t work for me. I must be doing something wrong. I found the correct page but couldn’t change the primary site field, so I typed it in the web address field but it didn’t change the primary site address. I clicked the Save Account Settings button.

  Could you try again from WP-Admin page at https://dianesgarden.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=grofiles-user-settings

  Change the value of the Primary Blog field and save the change.

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

  Chaitanyamsv, I clicked on the link you gave me and I’m there: https://dianesgarden.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=grofiles-user-settings

  I don’t see anything that says Primary Blog field. If I do find it, what would I change the value to? Thanks soooo much.

  Chaitanyamsv, the link brought me to Personal Settings but I don’t see anything on that page about a Primary Blog or values. I hope I am on the right page. I’ll check back with you tomorrow morning. I really appreciate all your help.

  If you have multiple sites, then you can select one of them as Primary Site. Among others, your primary site is linked to your username when you comment on other blogs etc.

  Here is how to change the primary site: https://cloudup.com/c-yi-4JHC2b

  If you have only one site, then the dropbox won’t expand as there is nothing else to change your primary site to. But the field should appear.

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
