  Yes and we cannot help you because you failed to post any relevant information such as both URLs and the username accounts that registered each one. Do that now please.

  re: changing a .wordpress.com address
  We cannot edit any blog URLs. If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so, then you can change the URL by using the guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ Then all the content will be the same only the URLs will change and nothing else.

  Be sure to locate the correct page http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/dashboard-e1371648470893.png

  Changing a URL is meant to be a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago

  I was trying to change the URL of my current website 2mavericks.com to twomavericks .org I have purchased and own both domain names. I followed a link through wordpress.com to change the URL of the site. upon completion of changing the URL, i was automatically logged out. Previously I would type in http://www.2mavericks.com/admin to access my wordpress website to modify and whatever. Now I type in http://www.twomavericks.org and have no option to get into my website.

  Hi there,

  I was trying to change the URL of my current website 2mavericks.com

  2mavericks.com appears to be self hosted WordPress.org site, not a WordPress.com site. The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org are explained here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  As the site is not hosted on WordPress.com servers, you will need to contact your hosting provider about this problem. They should be able to help you out.

  Best of luck getting it sorted!
