Domain is transfered and activated, but not pointing at wordpress.com
-
I recently transferred my domain from Namecheap to WordPress and completed all the necessary steps for the transfer. The domain is selected as the primary one in my WordPress settings.
However, I’m encountering an issue with pointing the domain to WordPress.com. When I click on the link provided in the domain settings, it redirects me back to the domain settings page without any clear instructions on how to correctly point the domain to WordPress.com.
Steps Taken:
- Transferred the domain from Namecheap to WordPress.
- Set the transferred domain as the primary one in WordPress.
- Attempted to point the domain to WordPress.com through the provided link, but it only redirects to the domain settings page.
Issue:
- The domain does not point to my WordPress site.
- Clicking on the link to point the domain to WordPress.com redirects me to the domain settings page without further guidance.
- I cannot access the domain: https://www.musemaker3d.com/
Request: Could someone please provide detailed instructions or guidance on how to properly setup my domain? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi there,
I have taken a look at this, and it seems like the domain’s nameservers are correctly pointed to WordPress.com after transferring your domain.
The remaining step would be to point your A records to your WordPress.com site! You can do this by going to Domains → clicking on your domain → click on Manage in DNS records → click on the three dots at the top right corner → and click on Restore default A records.
You can also view the instructions here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/setting-custom-a-records/#restore-default-a-records
Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

Thank you for your help. I took the steps of seting the A records to default and now it opens the site successfully.
However, I see the connection is not secure. How would I need to setup the SSL certificate via wordpress? -
Hello! I’m glad you were able to set the A records!
DNS changes can take up to 72 hours to propagate, and SSL provisioning also takes some time. Since the domain looks properly connected on our end, I’ve reprovisioned SSL for you.
SSL should likely start working in a few minutes, but feel free to let us know if you continue to see an issue. We’ll be happy to check!
