  Hi @rachelannedover,

  If you want to point your new domain to your current site you will need to map your domain to this site

  racheladover.wordpress.com

  There are two important steps to mapping your domain to your WordPress.com site.

  • Attaching your domain to your WordPress.com site
  • Updating your domain name’s name servers to point to WordPress.com

  You can follow along the process step by step with the help of support guide at the link below:

  Hope this helps.

  Best :)

  Hi @rachelannedover,

  what’s the address of the site in question and where exactly do you see the message that your site does not exist? A screenshot of what you see would be just great.

  You can use an online tool for that (such as https://snipboard.io/), or follow the instructions described here:

  Thanks everyone. I managed to fix it, for whatever reason, the homepage URL was still set as my old domain URL. I’ve updated this now and now its working. Thanks :)
