How to replace old website by new website?

kellyow30 · ‎05-28-2019

I'm unable to publish the new site I created. When I go to Settings and try to change the domain name to something different so I can re-use the domain name on the new site, I am asked for payment. How can I get the new site published and the old site decommissioned? Thanks, Kelly

Is the address you are trying to use with the new site a custom domain name, @kellyow30? Using a custom domain name with a site requires the site be upgraded. You shouldn't be getting prompted to upgrade on the old site if you are changing that to a Weebly subdomain, though.

the site name is goshenvfwpost985.weebly.com

Ok, I see you're using that address with your live site. Which of the other two sites in your account did you want to use it with instead?

My Site #1 is the site we want to use to replace the old site

Ok, I've assigned goshenvfwpost985.weebly.com to "My Site #1" for you.

So do I just need to publish it now? I get a 404 error when loading the site.

Nevermind, I published it and we're back up and running. Thank you so much for your help!

I am having this exact issue... I have created another website but need to replace it with the old one. Are you able to help me please?

Hi @gmoleta

It looks like you are logged into a contributor account. Can you confirm the site name, and do you have access to the main account?
