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

  Hi, @alexfranke8,

  It looks like you are referring to the site:

  http://bloggingaf.com

  Is this correct?

  If so, I see that it was initially purchased on 7/18/2017. Newly registered domains can’t be transferred for 60 days and then have a few days of turn around time, so I”m guessing you are just a few days out (at the most) from this being able to happen.

  In the meantime, you should be able to update the nameservers to point to the new location.

  This will take you to all of your transfer options.

  To confirm this, I am tagging a staff member with the modlook tag to take a look for us.

  For now, please confirm this is for the site bloggingaf.com.

  Thanks!

  I have already transfered it to another host.

  And yes that is my site. I have already gone through the process of unlocking it and transferring it to my new host. I did this 2-3 days ago, and once I had my old service with wordpress refunded, this happened. I need my site up, this is a fairly big deal.

  Thank you for confirming your site. I understand your frustrations.
  At this point, we just need to let staff get to this thread. :) Better to not post in it until they do so.

  Hi @alexfranke8, this domain didn’t finish transferring before you removed it from our system.

  I’ve restored it for you; can you try transferring it again?

  This time you might also set the new name servers first:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/

  Then transfer using these steps (mind this takes a few days)
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/

  We’ll remove the registration for you when the transfer is complete, but if you’d like to double check, just come back when you think it’s done and we’ll confirm.
