  Hello! I purchased a domain through BlueHost and tried to map it to my current wordpress site. Now my site is not reflecting this correctly and I need help correcting the DNS settings in order for my page to be visible. Help!

  Hello,
  Is wildgirlhickok.com your domain? Are you wanting it to point to wildgirlhickok.wordpress.com?

  If so, there are two steps involved: 1) set up domain mapping on WordPress.com and 2) change the name servers at Bluehost. Here’s the the guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Once you’ve made the changes, it may take up to 72 hours for them to fully spread around the internet. During that time your domain name may become temporarily inaccessible.
