Transfer DOMAIN to Bluehost

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I am trying to move over my site (ypcla.org) to WordPress.org. It is currently hosted by WordPress.com. I keep getting an error message when I try to ‘Transfer Domain.’ Please advise.

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

  • Hi @let112087, actually ypcla.org was registered by another user. If that was you, can you log out, then log in again with the account you used to buy this domain? You can use the email address that gets notifications.

    @supernovia, the original owner received confirmation that the account was transferred to me yesterday. He received this email from WordPress:

    > Thanks so much, Trevor! Yes, please remove me completely for the blog.
    > Where will the new owner go to update the domain registration information?

    Thanks for the confirmation.

    I’ve transferred your site ownership to ‘let112087’.

    It looks like the upgrades were recently transferred to another user user so I wasn’t able to complete the upgrades transfer. Nothing related to the site is owned by you now though.

    Let us know if you run into any issues or have any other questions. All the best!

    However, I am still not allowed to make changes to the domain or privacy settings and am getting the same error message. Now the original owner is locked out of the account.

    Can someone PLEASE get back to me I have been going through this frustrating process for weeks and need to transfer the domain NOW.

  • Okay, we would need to have the upgrades transferred by their current owner. Can you have them get in touch?

    Also, I noticed your domain isn’t primary here; is that your intent?
