  I want to change my username to foxmajeure, and the site tells me this username is already taken. It was used by me a few month ago, and then I deleted my account with WordPress. Could you please assist me with this issue? Thank you.

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

  Hi @speakdenver,

  As stated in the WordPress support documents:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use.

  To reiterate, you will be unable to use your previous username.

  Cheers!
