  Hello lovely people, I just purchased the domain mapping and have added lovenewblogs.com. When I make it my primary url it says below that the old url will re-direct to lovenewblogs.com. However when I then go to either of these urls it comes up as lovenewblogs.com cannot be found – any ideas on what I need to do to fix this please?

  Hi there,

  Your domain appears to be working great now! :-)

  Sometimes it takes a few hours for domain changes to take full effect.

  Could you please go to Settings → Domains in your blog’s dashboard, and set your custom domain (example.com) as your primary domain?

  http://lovenewblogs.com/ appears to be working properly.

  It can take domain changes up to 72 hours (though usually much less) to propagate to your ISP. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your ISP refreshes their DNS cache.
