I've Purchased My Domain But It Still Ends Up With wordpress.com
-
I wanted to change http://www.riffasancati.wordpress.com to be http://www.riffasancati.com. I’ve purchased my desired domain and it works. However, if I type http://www.riffasancati.com in my browser, my old blog will appear on the screen but the address will still end up in http://www.riffasancati.wordpress.com and I don’t like it. It feels like I haven’t purchased the domain at all. What should I do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Did you also purchase Domain Mapping?

Yes, I think I did:( It’s written in confirmation e-mail I received from WordPress. However I didn’t intend such a thing like this. What should I do now? Thank you for your reply anyway.

@riffasancati
Your blog is redirecting correctly for me. I am in Canada. I have two domains being free hosted by WordPress.com and mapped for WordPress.com URLs to their domains. The dashboard side of the blog ie the Admin side will always display the “root” wordpress.com blog URLs. This is normal behavior. -
I am in Canada and when I click your username I am seamlessly redirected to http://riffasancati.com/ Also note that it can take between 24 – 72 hours for a domain name change to propagate throughout the internet, and we have no control over when the various locations clear their DNS caches.

Hi Timethief… Thank you for reply.
Last night I’ve changed my domain setting in dashboard and choose http://www.riffasancati.com as the primary domain and this morning I see it works very well:) -
