I want to go back to my base domain

    I used the free domain for an year and now that it has expired I would like to go back to my base domain which has wordpress.com in the URL.

    However, I see that the links are not working and throws an error that the domain is not mapped even though while using wordpress.com in the URL.

    i think google search indexing is mostly for lalitkumarb.com, is it going to be fixed automatically going forward? i.e. would it be automatically convert to lalitkumarb.wordpress.com? Or will I lose all the effort to be on top of Google search indexing?

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

    Any update please?

    I keep getting the following error:

    Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.

    Can’t I rollback to my base domain lalitkumarb.wordpress.com instead of lalitkumarb.com

    Hey there,

    When I go to lalitkumarb.wordpress.com, I am able to view your site successfully now. lalitkumarb.com is receiving the error at the moment which is why your visitors need to go to you WordPress URL moving forward.

    Let me know if you are still having trouble visiting your site.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Just one question, is it possible for the people who are coming to my blog via Google search to not get the error and automatically redirect to the WordPress URL. Actually, google search has indexed lalitkumarb.com, is it possible that whenever someone clicks that URL it would automatically redirect to lalitkumarb.wordpress.com

    The number of visitors have drastically dropped down because of this issue.

    For example, my top google search URL is https://lalitkumarb.com/2014/12/02/split-comma-delimited-string-into-rows-in-oracle/

    which would obviously throw error. However, if it would redirect to https://lalitkumarb.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/split-comma-delimited-string-into-rows-in-oracle/ then the issue will be resolved permanently.

    Since you no longer own the domain, it is not possible to have it direct to your WordPress.com URL.You will need to wait on Google to update the indexing of your entire site and drop the domain. That may take 4-6 weeks.
