<p>I don't know that site but maybe you mis-typed an address or that site doesn't know about the <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address" rel="nofollow noreferrer">type of address</a> your wallet is using.

TL;DR: select `Show Addresses` item from the `View` menu. Then click the `Addresses` tab.

> **First, I had a bitcoin address ...**

A [Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallet](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet) has many addresses.

> **... and I used it once to receive BTCs and then it changed.**

That is normal, for privacy reasons, an HD wallet will generate a new receive address for each transaction in which you will receive BTCs.

> **I can't find my bitcoin address**

Look under the "Addresses" tab

I don't know that site but maybe you mis-typed an address or that site doesn't know about the [type of address](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address) your wallet is using. Some online sites are not up-to-date with the latest Bitcoin features (e.g. Bech32 type addresses that start `bc1`...). Try another, for example <http://lenschulwitz.com/base58>
