  Hello,

  It looks like you have two different user accounts on WordPress.com for both the sites, if that is correct here is what you can do to transfer a WordPress.com site from one user account to another:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/transfer-a-domain-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  I hope this is helpful, in case if you have any further queries please feel free to reply back on this thread.

  Regards,

  Hi longhairdontclaire,

  can i do this by just deleting the second site and renaming the first?

  No, deleting the site will mean that address is available for use. If you want to keep the content on chicagotodublin.wordpress.com and use longhairdontclaire.wordpress.com as the address, I recommend doing the following:

  1. Export the content from chicagotodublin.wordpress.com
  2. Import it into longhairdontclaire.wordpress.com

  Once the content has been imported successfully, chicagotodublin.wordpress.com can be deleted if you are sure that address won’t be needed in the future:

  Delete a Website

  Customisations like widgets and menus will need to be added to longhairdontclaire.wordpress.com manually but all of your content and media will be there from the import.

  Will that do what you are looking for?

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
