  Help! I moved one of my WP blogs to another site. Now whenever you enter the old blog address, you get a Weebly page that says “site not published.” What can I do so that the old URL (which I own) will send people to the new blog? Already checked with Weebly; they say they can’t do anything about it.

  You need to talk with the registrar of that domain name, or you need to point it at the new web host and “park” that domain and do a 301 redirect on it. Talk to tech support for the new web host.

  Also, self-hosted wordpress blogs are supported at http://wordpress.ORG/support/ and you need to seek help for self-hosted blogs over there.

  These forums are for those hosted here on the wordpress.COM free hosting service and things here work differently and our answers typically will not work for you.

  If you do not know the difference, see this support document for the differences: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ .
