  How do I STOP the automatic redirection of traffic from the free wordpress blog to my private domain? The free wordpress.com domain is already the primary domain.

  Free WordPress.com blog is http://sqlserverdiary.wordpress.com.
  Private domain is http://sqlstopover.com

  I have moved the DNS pointers away from wordpress Name Servers and cleared by cache. Even when i try accessing it from a new device it still gets redirected. I can’t see any options on the dashboard to help with this issue.

  Thanks

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

  When I click this wordpress.COM URL http://sqlserverdiary.wordpress.com/ what I experience is that there is no domain mapping in place.

  Thanks for your response timethief. I see i wasn’t clear.

  The redirect is happening on http://sqlstopover.com when i type it into a browser, it still redirects to http://sqlserverdiary.wordpress.com

  I have just moved sqlstopover.com to a new host and the DNS records on whois shows this. I have cleared my cache and tried on devices that have never accessed both sites before but sqlstopover.com redirects to http://sqlserverdiary.wordpress.com

  Hi there,

  It can take up to 72 hours for changes like the one you made to take effect around the world. In the meantime, the domain may use its old settings (directing to WordPress.com) instead of the new settings (pointing to your new host). I checked your domain and it’s pointed to your new host now. If you have any other questions or concerns about that, please let me know or get in touch with your new host for more help with that domain.
