Transfer Blog to a Different Account
-
I use this account (glowdown) for my blog. I have updated to Premium for this account.
I want to transfer my fortlog.com (run by WP) to this account.
In this dashboard, I can’t Dashboard>Manage Blogs via fortlog.com/wp-login.What’s my first step, please?
Thanks.

Also, please note that I have already tried to read several “merge” and “transfer” posts but they are either unfathomable (to me) or I can’t find what the posts refer to in my dashboard.
I have also added this account (Account A) to Account B (fortlog.com/wp-admin) account as administrator, but Account B is not listed under My Blogs in Account A.
I want to be able to not sign into Account B again as suggested by some merge posters.

Accounts will not be listed under your blogs, because they are not blogs but accounts.
We cannot help you without the URLs of each blog and the name of each account AND the info about which blogs each account has access to.

URL : fortlog.com
username : ashvinaneeds to be put under
username : ashvinamarie

Thank you, @thesacredpath.
May the Force be with you always.Will update here if I stumble into anything.

Ah, no that is not impossible, but the procedure would be different. See this support document instead: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-WordPress.org .

Ah, thank you – It’s becoming clearer now.
(1) I have a .com. I do not want to change its URL.
(2) Hosted privately, my .com is built using WordPress.org.
I want to switch to run it from my WP.com Dashboard.The procedure you showed me assumes that a new URL is part of the process.
Option : I can redirect.

Hi there!
You would need to export and import your content from your self-hosted site to your new WordPress.com site.
Then, you can use the domain mapping upgrade to use your custom URL with your new WordPress.com site. Here’s more information on this upgrade and how to set it up:
