  Hi @emmaecaton,

  You can manage all of your WordPress.com purchases by navigating to the Me section of WordPress.com and then choosing the option to Manage Purchases from the sidebar.

  Here is a step by step tutorial: https://en.support.wordpress.com/manage-purchases/

  Hi emmaecaton,

  Domain mapping for thezoologist.co.uk is included in your plan and I can see you have also mapped thewildlifechannel.co.uk to the site. Would you like to continue using thewildlifechannel.co.uk or would you like to map a second domain?

  Once I know for sure, I’ll be happy to help.

  Hi,

  A while ago I rebranded my blog from ‘The Zoologist’ to ‘The Wildlife Channel’. I wanted to get rid of thezoologist.co.uk and just have my domain as thewildlifechannel.co.uk.

  My problem is the previous domain thezoologist.co.uk has recently expired and now when I click on the “home” tab on my blog it automatically takes me to http://thezoologist.co.uk/ which obviously comes up with an error message because it isn’t there anymore. Weirdly if I click on the other tabs to access other pages in my blog everything works fine. It is only when I click on the “home” tab that I have this problem.

  I was just wanted to know if there is a way I can completely remove my old domain name from my blog and just have thewildlifechannel.co.uk or at least a way to make sure that when I click the home tab it takes me to the homepage of my blog.

  I hope that makes sense. Thanks for your help!

  Hi emmaecaton,

  I was just wanted to know if there is a way I can completely remove my old domain name from my blog and just have thewildlifechannel.co.uk

  Sure! I’ve removed domain mapping for thezoologist.co.uk and thewildlifechannel.co.uk is now the only domain mapped to your site. I also bundled thewildlifechannel.co.uk in with your plan so the two renew together next year:

  thezoologist.co.uk has recently expired and now when I click on the “home” tab on my blog it automatically takes me to http://thezoologist.co.uk/

  The Home link in your menu is currently a custom link to thezoologist.co.uk. I can see you created a page called ‘Home’ — linking to that page instead of inserting a custom links should do what you need.

  These steps will guide you through the process of linking to a page, in your menu:

  If you need any further help, just let me know :)
