  Hi, I have a domain from another provider and would like to redirect it to my WordPress site. At one point I had that set up, but after my domain lapsed, it all stopped working. I reactivated the domain, but it no longer directs to my WordPress site. How do I fix this? Thank you.

  Hi there!

  Can you let us know what the URL is of the site where you’re having this problem? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  Thank you!

  Excellent, we have two ways to use a domain you already own with a site here at WordPress.com:

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  It looks like your domain’s name servers haven’t been pointed to us yet following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/
