  I changed the name of my website (actually under my wife’s account which she can’t remember how to access) and it no longer shows up.

  Originally http://www.whiskeytangofarmandfiber.com changed to http://www.heartofdixiefibermill.com

  Please help!

  Need to find out how to fix it.

  Hi there,

  whiskeytangofarmandfiber.com is hosted by GoDaddy, which means you have a self-hosted WordPress site at that domain. Self-hosted sites are not connected to us in any way, so we’re not able to help.

  Changing a domain in your site settings on a self-hosted WordPress site without changing it with your hosting provider as well only succeeds in breaking your domain. You will most likely need GoDaddy’s help to fix this, so contacting them is your best bet.

  You can also try the WordPress.org forums:

  For future reference, the steps to follow to change a self-hosted site’s domain correctly can be found here:
