Do I need to delete my domain mapping?
-
Hi, I bought http://www.shenanniegans.com at GoDaddy. I have set GoDaddy to forward and mask my blog URL, which is http://sheilbrunn.wordpress.com, so that when people type http://www.shenanniegans.com they are directed to my blog and shenanniegans is what is shown in the URL.
I keep getting a blank page when I go to http://www.shenanniegans.com, and the support people at GoDaddy said:
“It appears that your wordpress site (sheilbrunn.wordpress.com) is forwarding to shenanniegans.com. Therefore, the forwarding is looping back on itself, which results in a blank screen. You will need to manage your wordpress account to stop it from forwarding.”
How do I fix it? Do I need to delete the domain mapping at WordPress? THANK YOU!

Hi there,
Forwarding is different from mapping a domain. Mapping generally provides a much better experience for both users and blog owners.
Please disable forwarding and masking at GoDaddy’s website.
You’ll then need to change your name servers at GoDaddy to:
ns1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.comFull instructions on mapping your domain are available here:

Ok, thanks so much. So then will http://www.shenanniegans.com still show in the URL after I do that?
