  Hi there,

  I have a domain that I registered through Hover that I want to use for my WordPress blog. I’ve updated the name servers to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, etc, per WordPress instructions, but I also see that Hover has an option to “Forward This Domain” to a specified URL. The same option also has an option to “Enable Stealth Redirection”.

  Does anyone know if I need to enable “Forward This Domain”, or if changing the name servers should be sufficient?

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

  Hi,
  Changing the name servers is sufficient. Do not enable the forwarding or the stealth redirection.

  If you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to set up domain mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Thank you very much, micawbr! That answers my question, and it appears that the name servers are working perfectly. I’ve marked this question as resolved. Take care.
