Hello @udaykumars199172364,
According to the support documentation for changing a site address, the prior website address is not available for future use.
-
@udaykumars199172364 Not to worry! It sounds like you’ve made this change recently, and if that is the case, it is likely that WordPress.com might be able to reverse it. I’ve tagged them to see if this is the case.

Hi torres126,
Thanks for your suggestion and efforts, I would be very happy if that is possible. I am would like to implement this to change to a different account, not mine. I can provide the details if there is possibility to doing this.

Hi webmasterto,
I saw these details earlier itself, was just hoping if it is possible with the technical assistance of wordpress.com.

Hi there,
I don’t see any address change for the site on your account. Can you please let me know the name of the old address so I can have a look?
-
Hi,
The old address is aparnasairamesh.wordpress.com which was modified to new one believeinmagik.wordpress.com without realizing that the old address was used in resume submitted to recruiters and now we are trying to get back the old one which seems to impossible at our end. I am concerned with this irreversible change because recently one of the recruiter pointed out this as a mistake in my resume.
I hope to find a resolution to this issue.
Thanks. -
Hi there,
We can only restore that deleted site at the request of the account that used to own it. The account you’re using to post here is not the owner of either of the sites you mentioned.
Please log into the correct account and post here to confirm, and we can restore that site for you.
It sounds like you’ve made this change recently, and if that is the case, it is likely that WordPress.com might be able to reverse it.
Also a clarification:
Site address changes cannot be reversed. We can only restore the old address that had been deleted, but it is restored as an empty site with no stats and no followers, and everything has to be moved back to the old site manually.

As requested, this is the account for which I need help. This account was earlier named aparnasairamesh.wordpress.com and later renamed to beleiveinmagik.wordpress.com. Now I need my old address back, even if the site address may be empty.
Kindly help.
