Domain not pointing to WordPress?
-
I’m trying to transfer from wix to freeholderpress.com, and it says I did it on the domain page. I then was told I needed to point my website to WordPress.com nameservers, so I clicked the little button and everything looks good. But then when you try and visit the website it tries to go to Wix (which of course doesn’t have anything anymore).
Here’s a copy of my settings. Is there any way someone can help?

Hi there!
I checked and you have custom A records that is preventing the WordPress.com site from loading. You can check the custom A records present for your domain here.
You can restore the default A records by heading to Upgrades → Domains > DNS Records > Select the Restore default A records option from the action menu (three dots) at the top of the DNS page.
More details on it are here.
Once the DNS changes are made, it may take upto 72 hours (but is usually sooner) for the DNS to propagate fully.
I hope this helps.

Thank you so much! I’ve made the changes and will wait 72 hours to make sure it worked but the CNAMe still lists ”cd1.widens.net”…doesn’t that need to change too?

You can go ahead and remove the CNAME pointing to Wix. If after a few days your domain isn’t consistently displaying the correct site, try clearing you web browser saved cache and restart first, then let us know if it’s still not working right. Otherwise, this should be right on track. :)

Hi @vaughtwoodworks! I’m glad we were able to get you sorted! I’m going to close this, but come right back here and open a new thread if you need anything else.
