I set up WP.com to redirect to WP.org and the reverse is happening.
-
I set up the redirect this morning to redirect from rayjayperreault.wordpress.com to rayjayperreault.com (on Bluehost) and it is going backwards. I must of done something wrong. When I try to go to rayjayperreault.com it redirects me to the rayjayperreault.wordpresss.com site. How do I correct this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I see that you set up domain mapping, which is used to point a domain to a WordPress.com site. Since your domain’s name servers are pointed to WordPress.com, anyone who visits the domain is sent to your site here. But you’d like to point your domain to your Bluehost site, and send you visitors there rather than to your site here.
For that, you’ll need a Site Redirect upgrade, instead. I went ahead and swapped out your domain mapping upgrade for a site redirect upgrade, to help with that step.
Now, you’ll need to update the domain’s name servers to point to Bluehost instead of WordPress.com. That change is made with your domain registrar (where you purchased the domain name), and it will make sure your domain is pointed to the correct site. Bluehost has more details about the Bluehost name servers you’ll need for that.
Please let me know if I can do anything more to help. :)

I’m not sure if this is fixed or not. I spoke with BH this AM and we put my name servers back to default and it works now for rayjayperreault.com (Using WP.org). But my rayjayperreault.wordpress.com site isn’t redirecting to my Blue host site? What needs to be done?
Thanks
