  I own two domain names. One is owned through WordPress:
  https://mythsoftherunestone.wordpress.com/

  The other I own through Godaddy
  https://mythsoftherunestone.com/

  I have directed the Godaddy domain to the WordPress domain on a “temporary” basis. The problem is that when I go to the WordPress website and set my primary domain to “mythsoftherunestone.com.” When I type in “mythsoftherunestone.com” it almost always locks up and people can’t access my site as all. Can someone tell me what I have done wrong? Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m not an expert by any means, but my guess would be that it is because wordpress can’t use a domain name that is already being used by another service. Even though your GoDaddy site leads to wordpress, it still exists and is taking up a slot in cyberspace.

  Thanks. Any ideas how to fix it? Does anyone know if I pay to transfer ownership of the domain from GoDaddy to WordPress?

  I think you would have to change your godaddy domain name.

  OK I just called GoDaddy and I think the tech person was able to resolve the issue. It takes like 6 hours or something for the change to go through. I will update later. Thanks again katiemarie1989.
