  Hello! I am trying to restart blogging, but I also decided to update the name of my wp blog and the wp blog address. I did not discard the old site, but I would like to redirect. When I use the redirect form and select the old wp address, it takes me to a place where I can presumably enter the new wp address and pay an annual fee for the redirect. When I do that, I receive an error message that my wp address is not a valid url. I’m sure it’s user error. Would you be able to walk me through that?
  legacy: rudyvillarreal.wordpress.com
  New: deaconrudy.wordpress.com

  Thanks for your help! Peace!

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

  Hello @rudyv3

  Note: Site redirects will only point to a non-ssl ( http:// ) url.

  As stated in this official support document: https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  So make sure your use address like this: http://deaconrudy.wordpress.com and not like this: https://deaconrudy.wordpress.com

  Let us know if this helps 🙂
