  I’ve deleted my wordpress.com site and am moving to a wordpress.org blog. however, when i enter my domain address, i get this message – “Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain. ” Since I no longer have a site at the WP.com blog site, I can’t log in and fix this issue. Please help, as I’m stuck and can’t publish my new blog.

  Hi there – That was likely because your domain’s name servers were still pointed here, but I see they’re pointing to Bluehost now. If you’re still seeing that error, please try clearing your browser cache.

  Hi there – The domain pulls up your Bluehost site for me. Domain names get stored on your computer in a “DNS cache” so browsers can load websites faster. Sometimes when a change is made to a domain name, such as your Domain Mapping settings on WordPress.com, the previous website is stored on your computer, and you can’t load the new website at the same domain.

  These stored domains are usually updated every 48–72 hours on your computer, but you can force it to update sooner by “flushing” your computer’s DNS cache.

  You can find instructions on how to flush your DNS cache here:
