  I accidentally changed my domain, how can i recover it again?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Sadly, I let more than 30 days go by… I thought that as in other websites, the domain would become available again after a few months giving me the chance to undo the name change. D:
  Now I’m sad and worried but I found this reply by a Mod on a closed topic by the title of Recovering old domain. Is there hope?

  Hi there!

  Let me clarify this a bit.
  While we can recover sites deleted less than 30 days ago, we are not able to undo the site address change.
  We can undelete the original address, but it will be an independent, empty site. You will have to migrate all your content manually.
  Let us know if you’re interested in that.

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

  Hi there,

  Could you please share the domain you are looking to use?

  Please note, for the .wordpress.com site addresses, once a site address has been used, it cannot be reused again. We have more information about this here: https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/#reuse-other-word-press-com-site-addresses

  As already stated by Staff, once you change the URL of a wordpress.com site, there is no way back. The old address gets locked forever.

  Hi @staartmees
  I get that but I’m actually asking for smt Staff has stated feasible:

  “We can undelete the original address, but it will be an independent, empty site. You will have to migrate all your content manually.
  Let us know if you’re interested in that.”

  Hello @influenciaindebida,

  Could you please share more details about what you’re trying to achieve? We’re here to assist you further.

  Upon checking, it appears that the site address influenciaindebida.wordpress.com was renamed to influenciaindebidapodcast.wordpress.com. The website influenciaindebidapodcast.wordpress.com has not been deleted, so there’s no need to restore it.

  If you need any additional assistance, please feel free to reply back.
