  Hi,
  I registered the site under one name but a previous name that I was working under keeps appearing for the .wordpress.com address

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

  I’m sorry, I thought you meant there are 2 different site names.

  Are you instead referring to your profile name ?
  If so, you can amend it at your profile https://wordpress.com/me/.

  Hi there,

  What’s the address of the site you’re currently working on?

  Site name [that I intend to use] is seekingjoyfully.wordpress.com but [right now] it’s showing up as thoughtstofruitionorg.wordpress.com

  My public display name is correct and right now technically I am working with two different names.

  Previous name (Thoughts to Fruition) which appears as thoughtstofruitionorg.wordpress.com is what keeps popping up but I want the site to be identified as seekingjoyfully.wordpress.com

  Hmm, where are you seeing this pop up? Right now, if I click on https://seekingjoyfully.wordpress.com/ I see the site that starts with “Cultivating Joy” etc.

  If I visit https://thoughtstofruitionorg.wordpress.com/ I can see you have changed the site title to Seeҟing J.o.y.-fully! — but you can change that. Click on My Site > Customize > Site Identity.

  Thank you, Supernovia! I hadn’t realized that it created two pages. I’m trying to resolve it now… again, thank you!

  You bet. You’re welcome to keep both, make one private for now, whatever you’d like. Just know if you delete a site, that name won’t be available again.

  Cheers!
