can I correct typo in url registered with worpress

  • When setting up a new blog I mistyped the name ie it should have included the word “days” but I typed “dyas”

    Although I was able to correct this, wordpress still has the mistyped name registered.

    Because of this I cant get Jetpack to work as I am updating the corrected url (days) but it has (dyas).

    Is there anyway I can change this?

    Or is it something you can do for me?

    Many thanks

    Sorry I should have added that my wordpress blog is hosted and I can access the server via ftp. The blog name I am trying to correct is part of a wordpress network that I have created.

    main blog is https://www.womensgrid.org.uk

    the network blog I am trying to correct is https://www.womensgrid.org.uk/16days

    but wordpress has this registered and https://www.womensgrid.org.uk/16dyas

    Hope that helps with any answers.

    Thanks

    How did you correct it?

    I was able to correct /16days in the edit site option of my sites. This is why the site appears correctly as a part of womensgrid.org.uk

    However by the time I did this the url with wordpress itself was already registered as 16dyas.

    I am also unable to correct the user name which is also mistyped as 16dyas.

    I thought I had seen a reference somewhere to editing the config file but wasn’t clear where I should do this. And if this is possible how this would work in that it is just one of a network of blogs.

    Hope this is the information you want. Would really like to put this right as having Jetpack is so useful.

    Thanks

    Why not delete the site, delete the user, and delete the activation key and try again?

    There are too many existing postings with reciprical links to make this viable.

    Although I had thought of exporting all posts and pages, deleting and re-creating.

    However I wasn’t sure whether wordpress would then tell me that as the name had already been used and I couldn’t re-create it.

    (It doesn’t have an activation key as it is a sub site of a multisite).

    This is why I posted my question in the installation forum, as the problem with Jetpack has already been identified as this installation error so not sure why it has been moved to multisite.

    I was hoping someone with the knowledge and / or experience of editing the config file could tell me how to do this.

    Maybe I should just post a separate question in the installation forum about editing the config file.

    Thanks

    You should be able to turn off Jetpack and turn it back on, actually. You may lose some tracking data, but that’s about it.

    It happened to me when I switched from subdomain to mapped domain.
