  Hey folks, I accidentally had duplicate accounts –– jaxsonk and jaxsonkhan. I went on to the latter and changed the username to something random (I want to delete it anyhow). But now I am not able to change my proper one to jaxsonkhan. It says the username already exists. Both should be attached to my (email visible only to moderators and staff) or (email visible only to moderators and staff) accounts. Can you help me consolidate these please and end up with the jaxsonkhan username? Thank you.

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

  Sorry that you missed the warnings while changing the username.

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use.

  To consolidate your accounts you can move your sites (if any) from former jaxsonkhan account to jaxsonk account. Follow the instructions mentioned on https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/ page.
