merging sites

So, overall you’re moving everything to WordPress.com, and adding the existing domain name to your new merged site at WordPress.com?

If so, follow this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

Then, this: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and www.ads-software.com are two different entities: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com

WordPress.com has complete documentation and support contacts at https://support.wordpress.com/

LOL I think so. I have a domain name site which is a .org and hosted on BlueHost, I also have a blog hosted on wordpress.com and linked to my website.

I want to remove the domain name on my existing site and change it to my wordpress.com name and register that as my domain name. So blahblah.com (I will not renew that as a domain name) and xyuxyu.wordpress.com (I will register that as a new self hosted domain name) then hope to merge the two so that xyuxyu becomes just the hosted website.

Ah, ok, then all you need to do is follow this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

okay got that bit working on the merge now hopefully it all works out without too much work to repair.

Thanks for the advice and help

You’re welcome!
