I think I deleted by blog by accident

  • Unknown's avatar

    Sorry if this is not the correct place to post this! First time user!

    I had a blog http://www.themedschoolblog.com, and I was trying to hook it up to my landing page on Strikingly. I followed the instructions, I think accordingly, but I think in the way I deleted my domain! I search http://www.themedschoolblog.com and I get an error page saying that the link does not exist. Did I cancel my domain?

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

    You have an A record – that might be an issue – what is the A record being used for?

    I will also flag this for the staff to help

    @auxclass To be honest, I am not even sure by what you mean by A class. I am a total WP newbie. I may have done something accidentally?

    What are you trying to do with Striking or what ever?

    This is the record I am not sure about –

    You’ve specified the following custom DNS entries:

    A 54.183.102.22

    @auxclass At first, on Strikingly they said I could link up my page to the wordpress and they said copy and paste that DNS entry into wordpress. I did that, and then everything else just went away. Now, I just want the wordpress site to go back to what it was; i don’t care about trying to hook up strikingly now.

    If putting in the A record crashed things, take it out and your site should come back up – will take some time for the updated changes to migrate across the internet

    @auxclass Ah, simple fix. It worked! Thank you very much! :D
