Solved Create a new blog

vin1c1u92

Hey all,

I'm trying to create a new blog, but I'm having that message "Sorry, that site already exists!".

Someone had it? What do I do?

I checked and looks like you've had a blog in the past and deleted it. It's not possible to create a new blog with the same account once you've deleted a blog, at least not without our intervention.

I might be able to restore the old blog for you. Should I try?

@jane-n

Actually, I deleted it, cause I want to create a brand new one

It would be nice if I could just create one from the scratch, but if it's easy to get back the old one, it's ok.

I have restored the blog.

You can start by moving all published posts and pages to Trash and then go through the settings and customisation options to give the blog a fresh appearance.

Perfect.

Thanks.

Sorry bothering you, but I cannot edit the blog.

I mean, I can see it, I follow it, but It's not editable.

Do I have to do something?

jane.n

How about now?

@jane-n

Now it's all working fine.

Thank you

@jane-n Same problem. "Sorry, that site already exists!" yes I deleted to rebuild, how to restore?

jane.n

@sulegulmen, I have restored the blog for you.

Hate to have to +1 this, but would it be possible to restore mine as well? I deleted it a few months ago because I didn't think I'd ever have a long-term use for it, but I do now.

jane.n

@ObserverHerb Done! Your blog is back up.

ObserverHerb

@jane-n Tysm! That's very kind of you to do.

@jane-n I'm so sorry to bother you, but I have the same question. I'd like to restore my blog, could you please help me with it? Thanks a lot.

jane.n

@AntaresShao Done!

Happy blogging!

@jane-n I want to set up a blog and I always get
Sorry, that site already exists! I have tried a gazillion name options, same outcome. Any advice?

@borisbauer
Looks like your blog has already been created.

Visit https://borisbauer.vivaldi.net/ to see it. There (while logged in to your account) click on the blog's title on the black menu bar to get to your blog's dashboard.

Also, when you select "My blog" from the menu on Vivaldi.net, you should be taken to your blog now, instead of the blog creation page.
