  Hi,
  I’ve mapped a wordpress.com site over to my domain (thelochanshepherdshut.co.uk), and ever since that my homepage is displaying as ‘page not found’. The rest of the site has mapped correctly, and I’ve set static page as front page, cleared my cache, etc.
  I experimented by setting another page (‘gallery’) as the homepage, and sure enough this resulted in ‘page not found’ for the gallery instead. Whatever I set as the homepage goes down, everything else works.
  Any ideas?

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

  Anyone experiencing the same problem, it resolved itself. Perhaps to do with the DNS migration time. It seems patience is the answer!

  It can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. It is not unusual for the last place to flush their DNS caches to be your own ISP. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during this stage is to be patient. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at your domain URL then wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies and try again.
