  Hello everyone,

  On my website https://studioseurope.com, I currently have footer articles that redirect to https://studioseurope.wpcomstaging.com and then perform a 302 redirect to my website. I want to remove this, but I can’t figure out how.

  I have looked at the online documentation, and my domain name studioseurope.com is connected and is the main address for the site. However, I have studioseurope.wpcomstaging.com as the default domain for the site, but I can’t change this.

  Need help :)

  Thank you !

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

  Hi there,

  Every WordPress.com site has a wpcomstaging.com address as its default system domain — it’s a fallback that helps keep your site online if there are issues with your custom domain. That’s why you’re seeing it in the background, but your visitors should always be redirected to studioseurope.com.

  The wpcomstaging.com domain itself can’t be removed or switched, but once all links point to your custom domain, your visitors will only see studioseurope.com in their browser.
  Check this guide for reference: https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/?#change-a-wpcomstaging-com-address

  Let me know if that helps or if you have any other question.
