  I have changed my domain hosting for http://www.fivedegreesofchaos.com from WordPress.com to Little Hero Hosting. I now want to run a self-hosted install on my own domain, but when I type in fivedegreesofchaos.com/wp-admin it redirects to fivedegreesofchaos.wordpress.com/wp-admin. How do I stop this happening so that I can access my wordpress.org dashboard when I enter my own domain name?

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

  Hi Emma,

  I have removed the domain mapping from your account. Can you please try clearing out your cache and cookies using the guide below?

  Thanks so much Grace! I think the issues I was having were related to my ISP caching as I’d cleared my browser caches and Mac cache and still couldn’t fix the problem, but once the ISP refreshed it was sorted.

  One other question – are you able to move my subscribers and stats over from the .com to the .org?

  Hi Emma!

  Ah, that makes sense! I’m glad it worked out!

  And yes, we can definitely move over your subscribers! They have been moved!

  Happy Blogging!
