  Hello, I recently downgraded to the free version of WordPress, but when I go to my site online (crockpotsandcoffeecups.wordpress.com), it says ‘this domain is parked’ and nothing comes up. If I visit the site through WordPress I can see it just fine… can you help?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,
  When the domain is parked it means is already taken, was this your domain all along or you just changed it with the plan downgrade?

  It was mine for years, then I switched to the free version.

  I can see it if I go on a computer in private mode and add the wordpress.com end to it, but the mobile version still says it’s “parked”

  I can also access the site. Have you tried un login and re login into your account?

  This is just so strange. I re-logged into WordPress on my phone, and now I can click the link from my 2 instagram pages and it works! I am now wondering if this means that a person trying to get to my site has to be a WordPress member to be able to see it? It wasn’t worth it for me to keep paying for the custom plan, but I don’t want to put all of this effort into the free site if no one outside of WordPress can see it.

  I really appreciate you answering me!

  Don’t worry, people don’t need to log in or be a member.
  Sometimes configuration changes take a few minutes and it takes you to re-login into the account to be seen.
  I’m glad it worked and good luck!
