  How do I change back my blog web address?

  My blog was http://www.shininggirlinzambia.wordpress.com

  I changed the URL to http://www.shininggirlinuganda.wordpress.com but wanted to avoid fees and didn’t understand I had to pay for a site URL redirect fee.

  So now I want to change it back to http://www.shininggirlinzambia.wordpress.com

  How do I do that?

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

  Hi Emily,

  There’s not an easy one-click way to reverse a name change once it occurs, sadly. Thankfully, you didn’t delete the older name so we can still make this change back.

  First, please visit the site with your content that you’ll like to move back and Export it. The export link can be found in the Tools menu at http://shininggirlinuganda.wordpress.com//wp-admin

  Once the file is downloaded, you can Import it via the Tools->Import link at http://shininggirlinzambia.wordpress.com/wp-admin.

  You’ll then need to reconfigure your theme and widgets back to your liking.

  Please let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything we can do for you.
