  My domain provider has asked for the DNS record or nameservers for limmudvancouver.wordpress.com

  Trying my luck through the support, I’ve tried to add a Zone Record for the domain but it asked me to contact support. Is this the right course of action and if it is, could you please add the Zone Record for me?

  If it is not, could you please guide me to the right information, thanks.

  Hi there,

  What is the domain name that you would like to use with your limmudvancouver.wordpress.com site?

  Hi there,

  I have added the zone record for your limmudvancouver.ca domain for you.

  If you need to do this for another domain in the future, you can accomplish that here:

  What does this mean, sorry I am a rookie. My domain provider has asked for the DNS record or nameservers. What do I tell them?

  Follow up, what other steps are needed to map this domain to my wordpress account.

  I have followed the instructions but the site is not currently loading. Is there a waiting period before it takes affect or have I done something wrong?

  The limmudvancouver.ca address currently goes no where, and strangely the limmudvancouver.wordpress.com address is redirectly to a mistaken link that limmudvancouver.ca used to point to. Please help.

  Hi there,

  I have temporarily changed your primary domain here:

  https://limmudvancouver.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  This will allow you to access your site at http://limmudvancouver.wordpress.com while you are getting your limmudvancouver.ca domain connected to your account. Feel free to change it from the link above once your domain is working.

  Is there a waiting period before it takes affect or have I done something wrong?

  It looks like you still need to change the nameservers on your limmudvancouver.ca domain to connect to the WordPress.com servers. This has to be done within your account with your domain provider.

  Please see the information here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

  Once you’ve updated your name servers, it can take some time for the change to take full effect (up to 72 hours, but normally much less). If your domain still isn’t working after 72 hours, please let me know.
