Replacing one blog address with an existing address
-
Hi, I’m trying to replace the blog address of my primary blog with the blog address (philadelphiahealthcorps.wordpress.com) from a second blog I own.
However, whenever I try to change the blog address of the second blog to try to free up philadelphiahealthcorps.wordpress.com for use, instead of allowing the address to be useable for my primary blog, it actually creates a THIRD blog with the changed address, while still keeping the philadelphiahealthcorps.wordpress.com in use. So I still can’t use the address for my primary blog.
What can I do?
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Can anyone help? I’ve been browsing other blog url address questions, and I don’t seem to find any that fit my problem.
Thanks

Are you using this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
-
How many username accounts do you have? And, is this second blog you have registered under the same username account as the first blog?

Hi timethief,
I did follow the guide to change the blog address. I have only one username account. Both blogs are under the same account. -

The problem I’m having is when I follow the guide to change the blog address, it’s not replacing the existing blog address, but actually making a THIRD blog with the new address. So the existing blog address is still technically in use, and therefore cannot be used for my Primary Blog.

RATS! I just figured this out. You already own the blog address, so you can’t use the changing a blog address guide. Instead you need to transfer the blog content by export and import.

No, the blog already exists, so you’ll have to transfer the content manually: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs
