Error establishing a database connection

  I recently had a wordpress.org website hosted by bluehost, http://www.manvrslife.com. The domain is over at godaddy and I had it pointing to my wordpress.org site.

  I decided to move the site over to wordpress.com so exported the xml file and uploaded it onto a new site, http://www.manverslife.wordpress.com. I wanted my godaddy domain to point to my wordpress.com account so I followed the instructions, changed the names servers at godaddy to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2.WORDPRESS.COM and NS3.WORDPRESS.COM, went onto my http://www.manverslife.wordpress.com dashboard and paid for the mapping to be done.

  Over at bluehost I then deleted the wordpress.org database.

  However now I can’t get onto the .com account site, on the my sites part of wordpress, i get the message “Error establishing a database connection” (the domain .wordpress.com is forwarding to manvrslife.com) when I try to view my site however I can access my dashboard when I use the url https://manverslife.wordpress.com/wp-admin/.

  Am I just being impatient with the mapping or is there a problem?

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

  I have just unassigned the domain at bluehost but it still isn’t mapping correctly, I just get a bluehost error with http://www.manvrslife.com…

  Hi there!

  I believe this may just be a caching issue as I was able to view your WordPress.com site as seen here at manvrslife.com:
