  Could you please tell me what domain you’re trying to map? And to which WordPress.com site you want to connect? Thanks.

  i am trying to map lbassistant.worpress.com to lbassistant.com. I had a previous domain name I had mapped before the lbassistant. So now when you go to the home page of lbassistant.com its all good and u click on one of the other pages they work but when you go to click back to the Home page it redirects it to the old domain name instead of lbassistant.com. The home page is the only page that I have the issue with.

  Thank you for that explanation. Your Home menu button is still programmed to go to the old domain. To change this, click Appearance → Menus in your Dashboard.

  In your Menu Structure, you’ll see your Home tab. Click the little down arrow.

  Correct the URL link to http://lbassistant.com/, and then click Save menu.

  Give the site a try and make certain all links work as expected.

  Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers!

  Have you already made adjustments to your DNS records according to your email hosting provider’s instruction?

  If not, after you’ve set up an email hosting account, you’ll need to add custom DNS records through your WordPress.com dashboard in order to send and receive emails. The records you need to enter depend on which email provider you chose.

  When you set up Mac Mail on your computer, you will do so according to your mail provider’s requirements.
