New Domain Name Not Working
-
I just purchased the domain name upgrade and registered the domain through wordpress. I completed all of the steps, but now when I try to go to the purchased domain name it says that it can’t be found. Even when I click on the link to my blog from inside of the dashboard it comes up as not found. On my other WordPress blogs it was as simple as registering the new domain through them and then everything was mapped properly but is it possible that I need to do something manually on this one?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is the site I click into when I click your user name > http://songtumbler.com/
Is that the domain name you purchased or not?
What is the URL for the .wordpress.com root blog you are domain mapping form?
Have 72 hours passed since you made this change or not? If can take that long for the domain name change to propagate throughout the internet.
Please post those specifics into this thread which I have tagged for Staff attention. -
yes, that is the domain name that I purchased. the wordpress url is http://songtumbler.wordpress.com/.
It has not been 72 hours, but with my previous blogs, it has been an instant change.

Sometimes that happens and sometimes it does not. We have no control over when other flush their DNS caches. As both URLs load for me and as the .wordpress.com sub-domain URL is directing correctly to http://songtumbler.com/ I am removing the tagging for Staff. I believe this is just a matter of time and you can check the progress here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/
