  I’ve unlocked the domain and turned off privacy at GoDaddy, then set up transfer and received the authorization code yesterday. When I’m add WordPress to complete the transfer it says the domain is still locked. I went back to GoDaddy and changed the DNS to WordPress as suggested in the instruction this morning. This took my site down which is fine. But the site is still showing as locked for transfer on WordPress. Ideas?

  Hi, that is odd. Could you tell us the domain so we can check the logs on our side?

  Hi there,

  Are you receiving this notification here?

  

  I’m seeing that the nameservers are pointed over to us correctly, but we are getting notification that clientTransferProhibited status is still showing for the EPP codes which indicates that the domain is still locked with Go Daddy – which based on what you are saying, it shouldn’t be. Some registrars require additional steps even after the EPP code is provided. I’d touch base with Go Daddy and verify that everything is good on their end.

  For more information, please visit and let us know that all of these steps on both ends have been taken:
