  Hello,

  I recently deleted my site janacudiamat.wordpress.com and would like to redirect it to another site. Is there a way to help make that possible?

  Thanks!
  Jana

  I’m fairly sure a site redirect won’t be an option after you’ve deleted a site, because the url is no longer connected to your account.

  Here’s the information about how a site re-direct usually works in case it helps: http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  Hi Lizthefair,

  Correct, I tried the reference link you provided and I’m not able to redirect. Is there a way to access the deleted url?

  Thanks!

  Sorry you can’t do a Redirect – once a URL is deleted it is gone forever and a Redirect requires an active blog / URL to work

  Sorry we don’t have better news. Here’s more background on why deleted urls are not recycled. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
