  Hi, I was looking into changing my blog title from Sincerelymishka.Com to Holisticrenewal.com. I went into my settings – general tab, and I changed my site title and domain. Then saved…(thinking an error message would pop up with maybe instructions on where I needed to go to actually change my domain) NOPE.

  The whole site is messed up now. I can’t even go in my dashboard to edit it because it keeps taking me to a GoDaddy page telling me I can buy that domain even though it’s already taken.

  Ugh, did I ruin everything? Any help???!!!!!

  It sounds like you manage a copy of the WordPress code yourself at a third party hosting provider and not here at WordPress.com.

  Please follow this guide to change the settings back:

  Then follow this to update the domain:

  If you need help with any of those steps, contact your web hosting provider directly as they can guide you about how to get access to the files you need to modify based on the options they provide.
