  My perlechampion.com is now redirecting to my perlesink.wordpress.com; however, the name in the browser still reads perlesink.wordpress.com. The $99 upgrade should have taken care of this so it’s just perlechampion.com. Please help.

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

  Nameservers Validated!
  Congratulations! The nameservers appear to be set up correctly for perlechampion.com.

  Oops, No Primary Site Set
  There is no primary domain set for perlesink.wordpress.com. This means that although perlechampion.com will forward to the site, perlechampion.com will appear in the browser address bar. To learn more about setting a primary domain, please see our documentation.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#setting-the-primary-domain

  Also note that after you properly set the primary domain it can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at perlechampion.com, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies and try again.

  Hi there,

  @Timethief is correct.

  You can go to Store > My Domains from your wp-admin dashboard to make your custom domain your primary domain.

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  Hi Perle,

  Will the change affect my followers?

  Not at all. Your followers will remain intact and will be able to access your site through both your wordpress.com address and your custom domain.
