  I created a website with elizabovary.wp.com, then I did not like the design and changes I made so I created another website and another one, my final site elizabovary3.wp.com is the one I want to publish, so I deleted the first two. Now I would like to take the address elizabovary.wp.com again, but it is no longer available (probably do to my own actions). How can I get the url back again?

  Hello!

  With staff assistance, you can recover deleted sites for 30 days. That will restore elizabovary.wordpress.com as it was when you deleted it.

  I will flag your post for staff assistance by adding a modlook tag.

  According to WordPress.com documentation for changing website addresses, you will not be able to change the name of elizabovary3.wordpress.com to elizabovary.wordpress.com, but you can move content by exporting and importing.

  Here are links to export and import guides:

  Hi folks,

  I was able to restore the site for you, @elizabovary. If you’ll import and export as advised, then switch to the Twenty Eleven theme, and then re-add and re-connect the Instagram widget, that should do the trick.

  And thank you for your help, as always, @drizzleblocks.

  Cheers!
