Trouble Accessing My Page
-
Basically, the only way people seem to be able to find my site is by searching for the name using a search engine. It would appear that clicking my name/profile, or clicking the link to the address, or typing the address into the address bar, does not work, and it is saying my site doesn’t exist/unavailable.
I have had 3 people tell me they are experiencing this problem when they try to view my site.
One person said, ‘If I click onto your name, it says that you are no longer available. If I copy and paste your link, it still doesn’t work. But if I type your name into google, I can finally see it!’The only thing I can think that may be the cause/related to this issue is that a couple of months ago, just a week or two into my site’s existence, I changed the name from http://www.angelearthlifestyle.wordpress.com to http://www.angelspartaness.wordpress.com. I don’t know if this is the cause or related but it is the only thing I can think of.
I am still getting a little bit of traffic, but I’m not sure where that is coming from.
I triple-checked that my site is ‘Public’, and it is, so that isn’t the issue.
If anyone can help that would be much appreciated. The dashboard/setting are difficult to navigate, and I can’t find any similar issue in the FAQs, and Google searching the issue has been entirely unsuccessful.

Hi angelspartaness,
When you renamed your site to angelspartaness.wordpress.com, you selected the option to discard angelearthlifestyle.wordpress.com (see step 7) — it won’t be possible to use that address again now.
clicking the link to the address, or typing the address into the address bar, does not work, and it is saying my site doesn’t exist/unavailable
Yes, angelearthlifestyle.wordpress.com no longer exists, so any links to that site will no longer work.
But if I type your name into google, I can finally see it!’
Search engines take 4-6 weeks to reflect any site changes. The site was renamed a couple of months ago so your content should start appearing in searches. Until then, people can visit your site directly using angelspartaness.wordpress.com.
Come back to me if you have any questions.
