  Hi,

  If you go to WP Admin > My Blogs and hover over the URL of the blog you want to change, you should see an option that says ‘Change Blog Address’. Click on that, fill in the fields, and you’re good to go.

  This post also shows you the process: https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Hope that helps!

  okay, so I went to do that and made the change, but then it said it was already being used, but when I did a search for that in wordpress, what came up was my esoteric oils wordpress page, maybe because that is the title of the page. at any rate, it would not let me change the url. can you help change it on your end?

  I can’t change anything for you on my end unfortunately, and I’m not a WordPress employee.

  It may be worth reaching out to one of them to see if they can help you out directly – hope you can get this resolved soon.

  @micawisdom

  You will not be able to change the name of esptericoils.wordpress.com to esotericoils.wordpress.com because esotericoils.wordpress.com is a site that already exists and is owned by a different WordPress.com user, not micawisdom.

  If you own this other account, and you’d like to transfer control of esotericoils.wordpress.com to micawisdom, please reply here as the user that owns esotericoils.wordpress.com, and I will make the transfer for you.
