  I upgraded to a private domain under WordPress called expressionsofHisLove.com. And I payed the $13 for the transfer. But the problem I have is when I type in expressionsofHisLove.com it goes to the main page. But when I try to log in it logs me into expressionsofHisLove.wordpress.com. And the changes are not reflected on expressionsofHisLove.com.
  I tried getting help before but nobody was able to figure it out. I’m trying again almost 8 months later hoping someone can help me now.

  Hi nelsontyler,

  I’ve tagged this thread for staff review, so a member of the WordPress.com support team should be in contact with you soon.

  Best of luck,
  Pat

  Confirm Primary Blog Settings
  You’ve set a different domain (expressionsofhislove.com) as primary for netdjay.wordpress.com. Although you can map more than one domain to your blog, only one can be primary. To read more about setting a primary domain, please see this documentation.

  Thanks for quick replies!
  Yes, I’ve done these things. When I go to the link http://expressionsofHisLove.com, it is correct. It comes up with the right site. But when I log in to the site to add or change a post, it brings me to http://expressionsofHisLove.wordpress.com. a completely different site.
  When I make the changes, it is reflected on the http://expressionsofHisLove.wordpress.com site but not reflected on the http://expressionsofHisLove.com site.

  Thanks again for helping me.

  Hi there!

  For all sites on WordPress.com, the URL to the admin panel resides under the *.wordpress.com address, regardless of the site having a custom domain or not. Rest assured that your users will only see your domain, expressionsofhislove.com, when they visit your site, and only you will see expressionsofhislove.wordpress.com in the backend.

  I hope that clears things! Thanks. :)

  Thanks for your reply.
  I understand completely. The problem I’m having is that when I go to edit or add a post on the backend, it never shows on expressionsofHisLove.com. It only shows up on expressionsofHisLove.wordpress.com. I shouldn’t have 2 different and separate web sites. I should only have one.
  In other words, when I log in to that admin of expressionsofHisLove.com, it takes me to expressionsofHisLove.wordpress.com. I understand that. But when I add or make changes to the expressionsofHisLove.wordpress.com, it never reflects of the site that anyone sees which is (expressionsofHisLove.com).

  I appreciate all the help I can get. But I think I’m having a difficult time explaining my problem correctly.

  Thanks again for helping me.

  expressionsofhislove.com is currently set as your site’s Primary Domain, thus any changes or content that you post should reflect in that address immediately. Can you give me an example of something you’ve changed or added in your admin panel that didn’t show up on expressionsofhislove.com?

  Ok.
  I just posted the last comment (your comment) on expressionsofHisLove.com logging on as the admin.
  So, If I go to the website expressionsofHisLove.com it should be there. It’s not. Instead, it’s on https://expressionsofhislove.wordpress.com.

  @nelsontyler: It seems that there was some confusion as to what WordPress.com site is connected to the domain expressionsofhislove.com. I’m sorry about that! It’s not connected to expressionsofhislove.wordpress.com, but to netdjay.wordpress.com. Are you the owner of this site? Would you like to transfer the mapping for expressionsofhislove.com to expressionsofhislove.wordpress.com ?

  Yes. Please change the mapping. I do own the other site but I haven’t used this in some time.
  Thanks so much for solving this problem!

  Can you please login with the account that owns the domain and make the same request here? Please mention that you’d like to transfer the domain expressionsofhislove.com to the nelsontyler account and map it to expressionsofhislove.wordpress.com. Thanks!
