Transfer username to a completely new account
-
Good evening,
I was kindly wondering if it’s possible, I could transfer my username to a brand new WordPress account to completely start over?Thank you very much.
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: Yes -
Hi,
I don’t believe a WordPress.com username may be reused on a different account, even if an account is closed as indicated in this section of the Close My Account support page.
However, if you change the account email address, and transfer any other sites in the account to another account, or other accounts, then essentially your present account will be like a new one.
I’ll call for staff attention to the topic, in case I’ve erred or missed anything important. Staff will respond here.

Hi! @musicdoc1 is correct on this. Usernames can’t be used by another account, and they can’t be closed out and ‘freed up’ for a new account either.
But, if you’ll let us know what aspect of your account has you wanting to start over, I’m sure we can help you clear that out.

Hi, thank you for both the replies.
I was kindly wondering how to delete the initial question that I said to begin this forum, so it doesn’t have my old website shown as a link & my account.
Thank you both for the kind replies.
