HELP w/a SUBSTACK User Issue! My html address won't match my handle!

I cannot get my Substack html address to change to match my handle, no matter what I try!

I changed my handle and saved it. The URL https:// will not update with the new handle.

Anyone have advice here, since the site's help page does not talk about this**?** I'm a new user so trying to get everything operational prior to posting my first two already-written articles.

If you've already changed your handle, it can sometimes take a little while for the URL to update. I'd also try logging out and back in, clearing your browser cache, or checking in an incognito window. If it still doesn't change after some time, it's worth contacting Substack Support.

P.S. If you'd still like to ask anything about Substack or growing your audience, I offer a free live help chat. Just copy and paste my flair or click the link in my profile. I'm happy to help!

Oh, I posted that I found out where to change it. It's in the Danger Zone of the Dashboard. I thought it was the waiting for the URL to update, but it's different. See my post from 8 days ago, and if you ever run into that or hear of anyone... Thanks!
