  When changing my site identity, I clicked the option for creating a new blog thebookheathen, but I didn’t realise I wouldn’t be able to change the address of my primary blog to it, it is mine and is there a possible fix?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Well, you can’t change a site URL to another URL that already exists. You could empty the content of the site with the URL that you prefer, and add content from another site to it, using WordPress.com’s export and import tools. See the following support pages:

  What you are intending to do is not clear to me. The December 3 post on https://jukejam.wordpress.com/ indicates that https://enticingtales.wordpress.com/ is the URL of your new site, and the site title is The Book Heathen. Yet you say:

  What is the address of your primary blog?
