Linking new Blog to my existing website outside of wordpress

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi. I created and edit my current website on Canva. However, I have purchased my own domain name from Google. I want to start a blog so I came to wordpress. Now I am not sure how to make them all work together. I would like to send visitors between the blog and my site. Can you please help me with this?

    Thank you.

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

  • Hey there,

    Many thanks for reaching out.

    It looks like the domain, is pointing toward Canva – and so to point it completely to WordPress.com would show something different under that domain.

    Would I would perhaps recommend is creating a blog under a subdomain like: blog.kcareyphotography.com, which is possible to do. It would be a separate site to what’s being hosted with Canva.

    This is how it’s possible to connect the sub-domain, from Google: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-subdomain/#if-the-domains-dns-is-not-managed-at-word-press-com

    Also to note, in order to set a custom primary domain, the site would need to be on a paid plan, at a minimum the personal plan:

    What hopes, dreams and aspirations do you have for your blog? I’m somewhat of a blogger myself – may be I can offer some advice.

    Many thanks.
