  Hi WordPress Team – I am having difficulties linking my Name Server directly to my Tumblr account. I linked the DNS number but I do not know what name servers I have to add to make the rest of the site link to Tumblr. Because of this inconsistency, my link leads to a “this site is not private” page.

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

  Hi there, to point a domain at Tumblr requires the setting of an A Name Record. We have the following support page that describes how to do that.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/setting-custom-a-records/

  You may also want to read through this Tumblr document on using a custom domain name there.

  Do note that it can take 24-72 hours for the A Records to propagate around to all the DNS servers around the world, although it is typically only 24 most of the time for it to stabilize.
