    I Need my Custom Domain to Point to WordPress Blog

    I recently migrated my custom domain, hosted elsewhere, to WordPress.com. I plan to use the domain name for my WordPress.com blog from now on. I waited for days before the migration was effective. The problem is that the link goes to the custom domain when I click on my WordPress blog. I wanted it to be the other way around; I wanted the custom domain to replace the blog address and use the existing content in the blog. What should I do to get this right?

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

    Hello,

    I understand that you’ve recently migrated your custom domain and you’re looking to have your custom domain, isaacboluwatise.org, replace your free WordPress.com domain, isaacboluwatise.wordpress.com.

    It seems that your domain, isaacboluwatise.org, has an extra A DNS record that’s pointing your domain elsewhere. This is why the connection with your WordPress.com site isn’t working as expected. To correct this, we’ll need to restore the default A DNS records on your domain. Here’s how to do it:

    1. Go to your Domain Settings on WordPress.com by clicking here.
    2. Click on the vertical ellipsis (three dots) on the top right side of that page.
    3. You will see the Restore buttons. Click on them to replace/restore WordPress.com A DNS records.

    Here’s a screenshot to guide you through the process:

    Once you’ve done this, it might take a few minutes or hours for the domain to propagate due to DNS changes. After the propagation, you can set isaacboluwatise.org as the primary domain on the site’s domain management page here.

    Additionally, you might be interested in our email services. We offer options that allow you to create a custom mailbox like (email visible only to moderators and staff). Feel free to check it out here.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.
