    Hi, my site was recently moved to a .wordpress.com ending, however, when I click on any other pages, it still routes to the .com URL (expired domain) and causes broken links. How do I resolve this?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi there!

    Because the domain expired, it will no longer redirect those links automatically to your WordPress.com site. This is actually one of the biggest downsides of letting a domain go. If you shared the link to your site — like on social media or with other people — they will all stop working when the domain is expired.

    In this case, you will need to manually update the links. I see you have inserted the Navigation block on your pages. Please refer to this guide on editing the menus: https://wordpress.com/support/site-editing/theme-blocks/navigation-block/#edit-a-menu-item-on-the-navigation-block

    You can replace the domain with your WordPress.com site address and keep the rest (after the slash /) same. If you have links elsewhere on your site (like on pages), you’ll need to update them similarly.

    Feel free to let us know if there’s anything else you need and we’ll be happy to help.
