Url will not allow me to change it
Blog url: http://gcross1987.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is gcross1987.wordpress.com.
What are you trying to change it to, and how are you doing it?
I went via ‘My Blogs’, through dashboard and then clicked on change this address.
I filled out the 2 boxes, being the new address and the confirmation. They match exactly but when I hit save, it tells me they don’t match.
And I’m trying to change it to thecatsmeeow.wordpress.com because it defaulted to my email address and I don’t want that.
http://thecatsmeeeow.wordpress.com already exists.
But that is with 3 x e ?
Don’t waste your time with a name change – the blog linked to your name is empty – just register a new blog name that you want and start blogging – set the old blog to Private and use it for testing and learning without messing up your “Real” blog
But that is the blog name I really want, otherwise it wouldn’t be an issue.
Then register it as a NEW blog instead of trying to change your existing blog to it.
The address thecatsmeeow.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Sorry, that site is reserved!
Is reserved for you (your user name) – you should be able to just register it while logged in
You can’t register it as a new blog, once the name has been used, it cannot be used again on a new account.
I’ve tried so many times to change it and it keeps telling me it doesn’t match but it clearly does. So frustrating!
Well, after many MANY attempts, I finally changed it.
Problem solved!
