  Hi there –

  Each custom domain needs the .wordpress.com site address to connect it to your account.

  While you see both fooddiaryofacitygirl.com and fooddiaryofacitygirl.wordpress.com when signed in to your account the visitors of your site will only see fooddiaryofacitygirl.com.

  The .wordpress.com site address automatically redirects to fooddiaryofacitygirl.com.

  Let me know if you have any other questions about this.

  Thanks for your response, however, your statement above is not the case. My visitors were still going to my old website. What I had to do was enable this redirecting by purchasing it for $13/annual fee. Now that I have done this, my users are being redirected to my new website.

  It sounds like the custom domain was not set as your primary.

  Can you share the old and new site URLs? I just want to be sure the $13 upgrade is needed.

  Absolutely.

  My old domain was http://www.fooddiaryofacitygirl.wordpress.com
  My new domain is fooddiaryofacitygirl.com

  Let me know if the upgrade is not needed and if I can get a refund. If I do need the upgrade, let’s leave it as is currently. I need to ensure traffic is redirected to my new site.

  Thanks again.

  I did not include www before my new domain in my last message. It is http://www.fooddiaryofacitygirl.com

  Thanks!

  Hi again –

  Since http://www.fooddiaryofacitygirl.com is not hosted with us at WordPress.com the site redirect is the correct option.
