    Hello: I also sent two messages to support. Trying to fix a dumb problem I created.

    I inadvertently redirected my own site CreativeIdeaGal.com to my WP site http://socciwriter.wordpress.com. As a result, the administrative logins are no longer functional!

    I try to use http://creativeideagal.com/wp-admin and it automatically redirects it to http://socciwriter.wordpress.com/wp-admin

    Help, how do I fix this?

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

    I am not seeing CreativeIdeaGal.com point to a WordPress.com site. Did you get this fixed?

    Thank you so much for your help, Josh. No, this problem has not been fixed and my domain expires at midnight tonight (Sunday).

    I need to export my entire site CreativeIdeaGal.com to the wordpress site http://socciwriterwordpress.com.

    The login I used to use http://www.creativeideagal.com/wp-admin (a wordpress site) is no longer valid. That login now redirects to this login: http://socciwriter.wordpress.com/wp-admin

    As a result, I cannot make any changes to CreativeIdeaGal.com at all! That is because I mistakenly rerouted CreativeIdeaGal.com to Socciwriter.Wordpress.com.

    In my dashboard at http://socciwriter.wordpress.com, at the very bottom is my linked blog Creative Idea Gal. Its address is: http://socciwriterwordpress.com

    Was hoping to fix that before the domain expires tonight. Thank you!

    So, CreativeIdeaGal.com appears to be registered through bluehost/fastdomains and is hosted with bluehost. Sadly, as the domain is not registered with WordPress.com and the site itself is a self-hosted WordPress site that uses the software available at WordPress.org (rather than a WordPress.com site), there is nothing I can do in regards to either the domain or the site export. I do not have access to your files or servers.

    I am not seeing CreativeIdeaGal.com point to socciwriter.wordpress.com. I see it point to your self-hosted site. Here is a screenshot:

    WHOIS data backs up my experience as it is showing Bluehost nameservers:

    http://who.is/whois/creativeideagal.com

    Your browser may be looking at a cached version of the page. You can try either clearing your cache, using a different browser, or loading the page and then holding the shift key while you click reload/refresh.

    I am sorry that I cannot be of more help.

    Dear Josh:

    I made so many mistakes when posting my original question! Thank you for being so kind and considerate with your replies. I definitely should have posted in the wordpress.org forums. The differences are confusing.

    I learned a great deal from your reply. Thank you very much!
