Domain not pointing to WordPress…but says it is

    I had hosted my website through Wix and made the switch to WordPress last month. I thought I did everything correctly and got my domain pointing toward WordPress.com (in the manage DNS page) and everything seemed fine. I waited the 72 hours for the switch to happen and nothing changed. Then when I go to my site I get a page from Wix saying there’s a problem. Well, the problem is I’m not on Wix any longer so it should be going to my WordPress hosted site.

    When I go to the manage DNS page, it clearly shows all 3 domains that I own, all with payments, etc., all owned by me, all pointing at WordPress. Yet none of them work. When I look deeper, the first item listed says the CNAME is: cdn1.wixdns.net. If it’s pointing to WordPress, why is wixdns there? Shouldn’t it be WordPress? What do I change this to in order to make it stop going to Wix and actually use and point to WordPress name servers???
