domain transferred but still shows in upgrades

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    I’ve recently transferred my domain to a new registrar. The transfer was a success, however the domain is still listed under my upgrades section of the blog. It doesn’t show up in the domain manager, but for some reason wordpress is still using the domain as if it were still located here. How do I get rid of the domain under the myupgrades section?

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

    the domain I transferred is thegreybackpack.com. But when I type in that domain it went to thegreybackpack.wordpress.com

  • I am seeing thegreybackpack.com point correctly to your new host.

    It can take 24-48 hours for domain/DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet. It typically happens faster than that, but it really depends on your ISPs update frequency. If you are still not seeing the correct site appear after 48 hours has elapsed, please contact me again.

    I can remove the domain from your upgrades area. But I’d like to be clear because there a number of similar domains there, we are just talking about thegreybackpack.com, correct? Not any of the others?

    The changes took affect and now pointing to the right address so everything is working. And yes we are only focusing on the thegreybackpack.com. The other domains have not been moved over. Also, would I need to create a different post to discuss moving my followers on from the .com site over to the hosted site?

  • Okay, and I apologize for this, but canceling domains is such a mess for everyone if it gets screwed up that I like to make SURE that we’re on the same page. We are talking about JUST thegreybackpack.com and NOT thegraybackpack.com correct (you have transferred grey but not gray)?

    Also, would I need to create a different post to discuss moving my followers on from the .com site over to the hosted site?

    No, I can help you with that as well. You will need to connect your new self-hosted WordPress instal to Jetpack first though:

    Josh,

    Yes, I transferred thegreybackpack.com to Hover. Thegraybackpack.com is still on WordPress.com. But the site is working so you don’t have to delete thegreybackpack.com if it will fall out from the list at the end of the subscription date.

    And I have Jetpack installed on my site

  • I have removed thegreybackpack.com anyway, because it can cause headaches to have it attached to an account when it has actually been transferred.

    As far as migrating your subscribers:

    Old site: http://thegreybackpack.wordpress.com/
    New site: http://greybackpack.wpengine.com/

    Is that correct?

    Yes that is correct.

  • I have migrated your subscribers and followers to your new site.

    Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
