    Hello, I initially made a website under the domain digitallysoup.wordpress.com but i decided to change it to minidigitalsoup.wordpress.com.
    The problem i’m finding is that whenever i comment on someone else’s page, the old URL shows up as the link – leading people to the ‘deleted’ site which i never set up. I’ve tried changing my profile settings and nothing works. Can someone help?

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

    Hi s3709209,

    I see digitalsouped.wordpress.com (not digitallysoup.wordpress.com) was renamed to minidigitalsoup.wordpress.com. It is now your primary site and while this address will be linked to in any new comments, it isn’t possible for old comments to be updated with that address.

    The problem i’m finding is that whenever i comment on someone else’s page, the old URL shows up as the link

    This shouldn’t be happening for new comments. If it is, can you send a link to a post where the previous address is being added so I can take a closer look?

    Thanks!

    Hi gemmacevans,

    Thanks for answering my question, haha just a poor student trying to work on an assignment..appreciate your help!

    I understand now about how the old comments are not possible to update, a little unfortunate.

    As for the new comments, I took an additional step by making a gravatar – i was able to click on my profile on my friend’s comment section and have it link back to my site.

    Hopefully this solves any future problems, just a little sad that I overlooked changing my profile URL too when I made that decision.

    Have a great day, you have a wonderful site!
