Mapped domain not working at primary domain
-
Early this year got a custom domain and mapped it to my wordpress.com account, I recently noticed that I hadn’t selected it as my primary domain, so I simply changed that setting expecting it to work straight away, but it didnt. 72 hours later I finally changed my primary domain back to .wordpress.com.
But this is also affecting my page URLs on my custom domain site. so when you go to my about me, the url doesnt change to /aboutme
and I’m also getting a double scroll on there too. :( (sigh)my sites are http://www.lindiespatch.co.uk
http://www.lindiespatch.wordpress.comthank you so much to any one who can help at all

Hi lindiespatch,
I believe what is happening is that your custom domain lindiespatch.co.uk is not pointed at WordPress.com. Instead it is setup to display your lindiespatch.co.uk inside a frame.
It looks like your domain is registered through http://vidahost.co.uk
You will need to contact them and have them change your name servers to point to WordPress.com. The correct name servers arens1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.comYou can read more here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Once you contact the company your domain is registered through, then it will likely take the 24-72 hours for the change to fully take effect. But that should resolve your issue.
Let me know how you make out.

Non-WordPress.com Nameservers
Although lindiespatch.co.uk has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.
