  Hey all,

  I’ve had a domain name through wordpress (weemanmike.com), decided to not renew it at the beginning of the this month and instead transferred it to another registrar (123) and once it was all done, I pointed the domain through 123 to my wordpress.com blog address just like it was before (but through wordpress itself)

  Now that the domain has officially expired on wordpress, it should be live on my new registrar, however, when I go to my domain address, I keep getting a message from wordpress that the domain has expired.

  Well yeah, but its now on another registrar and is live and should be forwarded and why is wordpress.com still telling me this when the domain isn’t with them anymore?

  Have I missed a step in wordpress? I can still see the domain in ‘my domains’ but it says expired, which is fine as it’s with my new registrar, but I can’t see anything to stop the silly message coming up.

  Can anyone offer some help please?

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

  I’ve removed the mapping of this domain from your site.

  Please clear your browser’s cache:

  Also, you now need to update your domain’s name servers to point towards your new site.

  Let us know if you have any more questions.
