Release me from WordPress!
-
Hello,
I’ve just deleted my site hosted through WordPress. I want to redirect my (non-WordPress) url to another site but clicking on it brings up this error message:
‘Something unexpected happened while accessing this website. It looks like it doesn’t have an active domain connection upgrade to link the requested domain name to the WordPress.com site.
If this is your domain name and it has recently stopped working, it’s possible that your plan or domain may have expired. Please log in to your WordPress.com account and review the status of your plan and domain. ‘
My url is https://michaeldennis.org
Your help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
When you delete your WordPress.com site, this action doesn’t automatically modify the DNS records associated with your domain name. What this means is that, despite having deleted your site, your domain name is still pointed to WordPress.com, hence why you see the error message.
In order to point your domain name to another site, you will need to modify the DNS records directly via your domain registrar’s control panel. In your case, this would be Zen Internet.
If you’re not sure how to navigate through their control panel, or if you encounter any difficulties while trying to change these settings, I’d recommend reaching out to Zen Internet directly. They should be able to guide you through this process or make the necessary changes on your behalf.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
