  It has been 4 days since I migrated my blog to a new domain on Dreamhost but my old blog is still active under the name – awizardslibraryhome.wpcomstaging.com & my old blog domain – awizardslibrary.home.blog is also active. This is affecting my Google rankings and my new domain – http://www.awizardslibrary.com is not able to rank high. Please help

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: Yes

  Hi, just to note: our wpcomstaging.com domains cannot be indexed; the only result for awizardslibraryhome.wpcomstaging.com when I search in Google is this forum thread.

  With regards to this site, I understand that you have cancelled your Business plan; we can help to ensure the site is reverted so it no longer uses plugins, and then you can set it to private. After it is set to private, you may also wish to request to Google that they remove the results from indexing. Google have a guide for this:
  https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7041154?hl=en

  In order to downgrade your site awizardslibraryhome.wpcomstaging.com, we must revert it back to the point when you installed your first plugin or custom theme on 17 July 2023.

  Your site’s contents (posts, pages, media files, categories, tags, projects/portfolios), theme, and customizations such as widgets, menus, and CSS will return to the state they were in on this date. This process will also remove all plugins and custom themes and any functionality or customizations that they added to the site. You will no longer be able to add plugins, custom themes, or custom code like iframes to this site unless you upgrade again in the future.

  Is this OK, and is there any content you wish to retain from this site?
