Mapped wordpress to godaddy, viewers don't see my site.

    So i cleared my cache like wordpress said so I can view my site after mapping. I can see my site using my own domain on my browser on my desktop, BUT my other devices and friend’s desktop and mobile show a godaddy page instead of my website. Does this mean all the past visitors in my site will have the same problem? How can i fix this? The point of getting my own domain was for it to look more professional. Now, i worry my subscribers, viewers, visitors will be directed to that godaddy page and not see my page.

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

    Hi Andrea!

    Everything appears to be working well now. You did set your name servers properly at GoDaddy.

    When you change your name servers, or add other DNS settings, it can take up to 72-hours for these adjustments to propagate throughout the internet. That could have been causing the delay your friends are experiencing. After 72-hours, everything should be working without trouble.

    You may also need to ask your friends to clear their browsers’ caches, using the instructions below:

    That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)

    Thank you, thatrobyn :)

    Not worried about my friends not seeing it but more the my stats and viewers. It might bug them to see the godaddy page. Say for example after 72-hours and past visitors didnt clear thier cache, will they be able to see the site?

    Hey there,

    Say for example after 72-hours and past visitors didnt clear thier cache, will they be able to see the site?

    Yes indeed! This should not be a longterm issue at all, once the propagation is complete.

    Why don’t you check in with me after 72-hours, I can make sure all is working well. If you have any concerns at all once the process is complete, I’m more than happy to help out further.

    Thanks again!
