  I accidentally misspelt the site address I’m using. It should be monawandering.home.blog and not monawadering.home.blog, How do I change this?

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

  While on the “My Site” page for your site, look for Domains under the Configure section on the left sidebar. Click that and you’ll see a page with an option to “Change Site Address”.

  Fix your typo there, click the “Change Site Address” button and you should be good to go!

  As this is about a dot blog .blog address I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Hi there,

  Welcome to WordPress.com, currently, we don’t allow sites with reserved .blog subdomains (home.blog, travel.blog) to change the name of their sites like we do with those using the wordpress.com subdomain.

  You do have a couple of options though:
  1) Add a plan and custom domain to the site thus replacing your free subdomain with a custom domain
  2) create a new site with the correct subdomain.

  Since your site is new I may go with option 2 then if you want to add a plan you can do that with the new correctly spelled domain.

  Let us know if you have other questions.
