  wordpress isnt recognizing the name servers provided by Cloudfare.

  I would like to change my nameservers to the following:

  LUCY.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM
  TIM.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM

  Is there a particular formatting I need to apply?

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

  Hi there,

  I have updated the nameservers as you requested. Please note that it may take awhile for these domain changes propagate. This can sometimes take up to 72 hours.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  Hi Grace,

  Thankyou! Could you tell me how you amended it for future references please?

  Whenever I would go into change DNS it would state that my nameserver needed to be in the following formats:

  MX <pref> <host>
  TXT <text>
  CNAME <subdomain> <host>
  A <subdomain> <IP>
  SRV <_service._protocol> <priority> <weight> <port> <domain>

  Thanks!

  If you want to point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  If you want to change the DNS you mentioned, go to your Store > My Domains in your Dashboard and click “edit DNS”. Just add whatever you need in the formats listed.

  Cheers!
