  Hi,

  I’ve recently forwarded all traffic from another domain to my .wordpress.com blog, however when visitors access my site via the domain they get a not secure message.

  I was under the impression that the domain just forwards them to my wordpress blog and shouldn’t affect my wordpress sites in built ssl?

  Thanks,
  Ross

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

  Hi Ross –

  Thanks for writing to us.

  There are 2 ways to set up a custom domain with WordPress.com when the domain was not originally purchased here.

  The first option is to map it:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  The second option is to transfer it:

  If you don’t mind sharing the domain in question with us here in this thread I can take a closer look at where it is pointed.

  There are times, when DNS changes are made, that it takes up to 72 hours for those to become fully activated.
