Changing primary blog
-
My primary blog of 2 blogs was easternwillcounty.wordpress.com. I created a 3rd blog, easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com and made it my primary blog. I have failed in my attempted to return easternwillcounty.wordpress.com as the primary blog. Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog. Then here’s how to link your username to another blog registered under the same username account thereby making it your primary blog under that username account http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/06/link-your-username-to-your-blog/

I have previously followed those instructions with no success. I just followed them again without success. Is there a waiting period before the change goes into effect?

It appears that easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com was registered by Eastern Will County News > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/easternwillcountynews

For clarity you must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to make it your primary blog under that username account.
If you want to transfer the easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com blog from the Eastern Will County News > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/easternwillcountynews account to the easternwillcounty https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/easternwillcounty account read what follows.
Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email addres. No matter how many blogs are created under any username account there will be only one gravatar and one primary blog that can be linked to that username.
To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.
Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.
adding users http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

Thank you for your patience. easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com continues to be recognized as the URL for my blog despite:
(1) Everything in my administrative area tells me that easternwillcounty.wordpress.com is my primary administrator and
(2) I purchased Redirect and told it to send everything from easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com to easternwillcounty.wordpress.com -
Thanks for the clarity. I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

Hi there,
I checked your account, and I see easternwillcounty.wordpress.com as your primary blog. Could you let me know where you see easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com as the primary blog?
I purchased Redirect and told it to send everything from easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com to easternwillcounty.wordpress.com
Your Site Redirect upgrade was purchased on your easternwillcounty.wordpress.com blog. As it’s set up right now, enabling the site redirect will send visitors from that blog to the blog at easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com.
Just to clarify, Site Redirect is used to send your visitors from one blog address to another: Site Redirect
That won’t change where your site’s content is. Right now, it looks like all of your content is on easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com. You can move that content by exporting the content from that blog and importing it on the other blog.
Then, if you’d like, you can redirect visitors by transferring your site redirect upgrade to easternwillc0untynews.wordpress.com so it points to easternwillcounty.wordpress.com: My Upgrades: Transferring Upgrades
Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
