  I want to redirect my WordPress site to a non-WordPress url. Is there an easy and free way to do this?

  Hi –

  Yes, you can redirect your free WordPress.com site to a different URL. It’s not free. Here are the instructions:

  Site Redirect

  Please share the URL in question so we can confirm this information for you.

  Thanks! The site redirect is the only option for free WordPress.com sites. What you’ve shared though is a custom domain which means you can access the DNS records and point the domain elsewhere.

  Write back with more questions.

  Thank you for the instructions; however, we want to redirect our site to a non-WordPress page (to a GoDaddy page). Are there instructions or a fee for doing this?

  No worries. You’ll just update the DNS records on the domain through your WordPress.com account because we are the domain registrar for that domain. You own the domain, though, and can use/point it anywhere.

  It looks like these are the instructions you’ll use from GoDaddy’s side of things: https://www.godaddy.com/help/change-nameservers-for-my-domains-664

  Is there a way to redirect my home page to a specific page on another website, or will it just go directly to the home page of the other website?

  You can easily set up a link for the homepage in a specific area of the new site. The site redirect would push the entire old site to the front page of the new site.

  How would I do this on the home page in WordPress?

  trinitybaptistsmithville.org isn’t using WordPress.com. So I can’t provide exact instructions on how to work on that site menu. Generally speaking you would just add a link to the non WordPress.com site in the menu.

  For example, if the non WordPress.com site is your blog, then you could title the menu item “Blog” with a link to that.

  Does this make sense?
