  Hi,
  
  I transferred my domain (alwrightandmarshall.com) to another user and then back to my account over a week ago. When I transferred it to that other user it automatically pointed to the default blog on their account (https://apollobabade4.wordpress.com/). They tried to stop it redirecting here bu they couldn’t so they transferred it back to me and deleted their blog for good measure. I then set up domain redirect in my account to redirect my domain to an external domain with a similar name.
  For some reason my domain (alwrightandmarshall.com) still redirects to that deleted blog (https://apollobabade4.wordpress.com/).
  How do I resolve this?

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

  Hey there,

  Happy to help you with this.

  Generally speaking, in order to direct a domain (otherwise known as, setting a custom primary domain) to https://apollobabade4.wordpress.com/ – a paid plan would be required. At a minimum the personal plan.

  For some reason my domain (alwrightandmarshall.com) still redirects to that deleted blog (https://apollobabade4.wordpress.com/).

  I suspect this may be cached, as I’m seeing alwrightandmarshall.com redirect to alwrightandmarshall.ie.

  Are you able to detail the end goal you’re trying to achieve? For instance, are you looking to point alwrightandmarshall.com to https://apollobabade4.wordpress.com/.

  Many thanks!

  You’re correct it was a caching issue. Thanks.
