I used to have domain, I decided I didn’t like it expires today. My account is telling me it’s about to expire today. I suppose I have until midnight. I put my “free” wordpress address as my primary, and I can’t blog. Every time I log in it tells me that I need to renew. I don’t want to renew. I contact support. Not once, not twice, but 3 times today. Nothing!

What’s up people?!!!

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

Log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then try again. It could be a cookie or cache issue.

Also double check that your wordpress.com domain is still set to primary.

I did log out and clear my cache and cookies, and I also restarted my browser and it didn’t work.

My domain that has expired is http://akthehealthyfoodie.net, my new one, which comes up when I visit the site not signed in is https://walkingadifferentwalk.wordpress.com. But when I sign in I get redirected to the domains page and I can’t do anything at all. I’m getting quite weary of this.

This is the address you should be using to log into your blog here: http://walkingadifferentwalk.wordpress.com/wp-login.php .

Give that a direct try and see what happens.

How long does it normally take for support to get back with you?

My http://akthehealthyfoodie.net domain expired on March 8, 2011. Shouldn’t it just go to the free one without a hitch.

It goes directly to the free one without a hitch for me.

What OS are you running, and what version (windows xp, vista, windows 7, OS X 10.x.x)?

Windows xp. As long as I am not signed in I go right to my blog with the walkingadifferentwalk. As soon as I sign in and go to post or links it goes directly to the domains page.

It says…”You were redirected here because your blog uses a domain subscription that has expired.”

I have set it to walkingadifferentwalk.wordpress.com as my primary. But it won’t release from this page.

When I’m signed in that is. I can’t post or anything, because it keeps directing me to this domains page every time I sign in.
