    Hi, I’m designing a site for a friend who has an old site with an existing URL. I’m not sure how to keep that URL while creating an entirely new site through a new WordPress theme.

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

    Hi there,

    In order to help you better, please share the existing site url?

    As per my understanding, you want to create a New site with a existing wordpress.com URL (example:blogname.wordpress.com) Creating a site with existing URL is not possible.

    Although, you can edit the existing site on WordPress.com.

    You can register a custom domain (for example, yourgroovydomain.com) and use it instead of your site’s current address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com). Your old address will still work, but we will automatically redirect traffic from your old address to your new one.

    Domain Registrations are offered as part of WordPress.com plans. You will need to have an active plan on your site in order to register a domain. Each plan comes with one free domain registration. However, you can register as many additional domains as you want on the same site, but you have to pay for additional registrations separately.

    You can find a full list of supported domains here.

    If you already have a domain registered somewhere else, you can map your existing domain to your site. You can also map your site to a subdomain, if you already have a website up and you want your blog as a subdomain of that site. Mapping either an existing domain or subdomain requires a WordPress.com plan as well.

    Hope its helps,

    Thanks!!

    Hi dawsoncreative,

    Can you confirm the URL of the site you are working on? Once I know for sure, I’ll be happy to take a look.

    Thanks!
