Can’t access my site after i changed the domain from co. to co.uk in the settings

    I actually made a mistake when purchasing the domain thinking I was getting the co.uk version, as I live in the UK. However, when I realise my website ended just in .co I tried to change it in the settings section and now I get an error saying that I the site cannot be accessed and it looks like I don’t have any drafts, which I had, as I had started working on the blog.
    thanks for any guidance you can provide.

    Hi,

    What is the domain name you are trying to access?

    What domain name did you create?

    Hi there,

    Your site is not hosted with us on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another host.

    Changing the domain on a stand-alone WordPress site like yours has to follow a specific process. You can find the documentation for that process here, though many hosting providers have their own process for this via their hosting control panel.

    Depending on your setup, you might be able to fix this yourself using those instructions. If not, please contact your hosting provider directly for help.
