  I have a domain name (taylormadesweetsandtreats.com) registered with WordPress. Someone from WP support helped me redirect my domain name to a Weebly site, but the email forwarding I set up ((email visible only to moderators and staff)) through WP no longer works. How do I fix this? Thank you

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

  ^^^ I don’t actually need help with my blog. I need help with a domain name I’ve registered that points elsewhere. Sorry!

  Hi Nicole,

  Please note there’s no way to use Email Forwarding while pointing your domain to Weebly.

  I believe it would be best to contact support at Weebly and check what are their email options for domains hosted elsewhere. I did a quick search and found this:

  If another registrar would solve your problem, you can transfer your domain with these steps:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  I’m so sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

  Hi Grace,

  Thanks so much for your response! I was also doing research on this and I think I realized that I couldn’t use WordPress email forwarding when my domain points to Weebly. I just tried to set up email through Weebly (hosted through Google apps) and it says I need to configure the MX records at my domain registrar to have it point to Google’s servers. Is there any way to do this through WP or do I have to transfer my registrar to Weebly?

  Thank you!
  Nicole
