  I am trying to change my site ‘odessaboutique.com’ to be the primary domain and EDIT THE DNS. When I click ‘edit DNS’, it shows me this:

  MX <pref> <host>
  TXT <text>
  CNAME <subdomain> <host>
  A <subdomain> <IP>

  but everytime I try to put in the cname and Arecord (bottom two lines), it gives me a red error sign, this doesn’t match our dns format. I have a cname record for my new site (@virb.com and http://www.virb.com) as well as Arecord address: @64.207.128.132 and www 64.207.128.132.

  Can anyone explain to me how to format this properly so the wordrpess site will point to the newly-created, VIRB, site I built and bought?

  Thanks very much!

  Hi. If you bought odessaboutique.com from WordPress.com and are now trying to make it point to a new website elsewhere, you need to follow these instructions:
