    Hi there, you did successfully transfer in the domain http://hemingwaystyle.com/ but the SSL certificate hasn’t been applied to the domain yet. That’s because an A record pointing the domain elsewhere got transferred in with the domain. I removed it so the system could process SSL for the domain, and it’s just a matter of time for the change to propagate. Please reach out again in chat or by email if you have further questions about the domain status!

    If your site still isn’t working after connecting your domain name and server, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:1. Check DNS Settings:

    • Ensure that your domain’s DNS settings are correctly pointing to WordPress.com.
    • The A record should point to 192.0.78.24 and 192.0.78.25.
    • If you’re using a custom domain, make sure the CNAME record is set to yourdomain.wordpress.com.

    2. Verify Domain Connection:

    • Log in to your WordPress.com account.
    • Go to “Manage Domains” under “Settings.”
    • Ensure your domain is listed and connected as the primary domain.

    3. Check Domain Propagation:

    • DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally. Use a DNS propagation checker like whatsmydns.net to see if your domain is correctly pointing to WordPress.com.
    • for example my website is https://pearllemonweb.com/ i will go on this site whatsmydns.net
      paste my url and y can see information of any domain from DNS servers located in many countries all around the world.

    4. SSL Certificate:

    • Ensure your SSL certificate is active and correctly set up. You can do this in the “Domains” section of your WordPress.com account.
    • Sometimes, re-enabling the SSL option helps.

    5. Clear Cache:

    • Clear your browser cache and cookies.
    • If using a content delivery network (CDN) like Cloudflare, clear the cache there as well.

    6. Check for Plugin Conflicts (if self-hosted):

    • If you’re using WordPress.org with your own hosting, deactivate all plugins and see if the site works. Reactivate them one by one to identify conflicts.

    7. Check Hosting Provider:

    • If self-hosted, confirm that your hosting provider is properly connected and there are no server issues. Check with their support team if unsure.

    8. Review Error Logs:

    • Look at your site’s error logs (available through your hosting provider) for any clues.

    9. Contact WordPress Support:

    • If all else fails, reach out to WordPress.com support directly. Provide them with details on the steps you’ve already taken.

    yes that is finally working ! But I see that my contact page won’t let anyone without a WordPress contact me.

    Glad to hear the domain and SSL is working properly!

    For the contact page, it sounds like you are referring to https://hemingwaystyle.com/contact/, is that correct? When I visit that page I see a contact form with some fields and a submit button. I tested submitting the form and it appears to be working. If it is not working as expected still, can you share more about what you are seeing on your end?
