URL transfer
-
I would like to change my blog url to one I am currently using for another blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

See here and read at least twice before you proceed > changing a blog address http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

I got that–here is where I am confused. I want to change the URL back to one I was using in the past. I purchased a redirect from the old URL to the new one & now I don’t know the steps to take to change everything back. Thanks for your help!

There is no going back.
7. The final option presented on this screen allows you to discard your current address. This option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

right, but when I enter in the old URL it says “sorry that URL is not available” because I already own it.

Hello Elizabeth,
Could you please confirm the old URL and the current URL that you’d like to change?

Hi there! I am trying to change the tastemakersblog URL to haymakersblog (the old one). When I orginally made the switch I purchased a site redirect from haymakersblog to tastemakersblog.

Hello Elizabeth,
Because both blogs exist, the best course of action is to follow the guide here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs
If you wish to maintain the content from both blogs, please make sure you export both before beginning the import process.
You can then manage (disable, or change) your site redirect here:

Great–one last question–will the followers be exported along with the content so I can move them over from tastemakers to haymakers as well?
-
The export tool will not transfer followers, but I can transfer them for you. Please confirm once you’ve migrated everything else over and I can transfer your followers for you from tastemakersblog to haymakersblog.

Hi there–I have migrated everything over if you wouldn’t mind transferring the followers from tastemakersblog to haymakersblog, I would be so appreciative. thanks! Elizabeth

I have completed the transfer of your subscribers from tastemakersblog to haymakersblog. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help.
