setting up masking for my domain and having trouble.
-
hello- i’m very new to owning domains, so i apologize in advance if my question is silly. i bought a domain name from wordpress, and now i want to mask it so that when you go to the domain URL, it doesnt automatically show the redirection to wordpress in the address bar. so i went through the online help tutorial, which told me to select my domain name and click “forward,” on the top tool bar. the problem is, my top toolbar doesn’t have a forward button. all it has is Organize, Locking, Content, and Nameservers. Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it? I called the tech support number on the sidebar, but the guy there told me he didn’t know anything and I should go to google.com/support for help… which was UNhelpful.
Thank you =) -
So you bought the URL from wordpress.com in your admin? Have you tried adding the domain to your account under Admin => Options => Domains and add a blog?

So, it is added as per the faq and you have the domain option to “put blog here”? That is my understanding of forwarding that you are talking about. Am I not understanding? Maybe a little more specifics.

After you click “Put blog here”, how long does it take before you start seeing your WordPress blog with your new domain in the address bar? I just did it, but it’s not happening, so I don’t know if it’s immediate or not. Thanks.

We volunteers cannot answer this question.
Please send it to staff by email to support [at] wordpress [dot] com. -
It can take up to 72 hours (not usually that long) as long as the domain has the name servers pointing to ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com and ns3.wordpress.com. I see that your wordpress.com account is already redirecting to http://crushliberalism.com/ so it is working. It can take a day or so to provage through all the internet name servers, but it is looking like it is working now.
