    Hi,
    I previously moved this domain name to a squarespace site, however I now want to move it back to a WordPress site. The domain is still hosted by wordpress but I’m really struggling to get the link to go to a back to my wordpress site.

    The squarespace site I had has been deleted and if I go into my account it says I have no domains in that account.

    Help!

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

    Hi there,

    To point the domain back to your WordPress.com site, go to My Site ->Domains and edit the domain’s DNS. Delete all the A records and CNAME records that you added to point the domain to Squarespace. That will automatically reactivate our A and CNAME records, and the domain should start showing your WordPress.com site again within a few hours. You might need to clear your browser cache before you’ll see it working.

    I’m also happy to remove those records for you. Just let me know.

    That thread is not really relevant, as the OP said the domain is still with us, i.e. not transferred. That thread is also outdated as we now do support incoming domain transfers:

    Transferring a domain you already own to WordPress.com
