  Ihave a problem with the site address for a wp.com site.

  The address allocated to me by wp is:

  naturalliving387791572.wordpress.com

  Am I stuck with that string of numbers???

  Hi there, if you registered that address, then yes. You can change your free WPcom site address to something else as long as the desired free address hasn’t already been registered by using the change address tool. https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  Please note that when you change a site address, it isn’t possible to recover the old address.

  Another option is to upgrade your site to at least the Personal plan and then register a custom domain like “mysite.com.” Your underlying wpcom address will still be naturalliving387791572.wordpress.com but site visitors will see “mysite.com.” You can learn more about this in our guide at https://wordpress.com/support/domains/register-domain/

  Post back here if you have any questions about this.
