    SOrry for the late reply, there is no such thing as WordPress Address (URL) or Site Address (URL) in Settings -> General. in settings–> general, There are only :
    – site Title
    – Tagline
    – Time Zone
    – Date Format
    – Time FOrmat
    – Week starts on
    – Language

    That is a WordPress.com blog, which we really can’t help with here.

    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/

    With that said though, www is an old protocol from back when everything was under separate server hardware. www (www.example.com) was the web server, mail (mail.example.com) was the mail server, ftp (ftp.example.com) was the FTP server, print (print.example.com) was the print server, etc.

    These days, everything is run under the web server, making www. redundant and a waste of four characters.
