  I’ve unlocked my domain with my current host, but WordPress is stating that it’s still ‘locked’. I also have my authorization code. How can I proceed with transferring my domain?

  Hi there,

  What is the domain?

  The only way we can check whether or not the domain is unlocked is via the public Whois database, and information in that database can take several hours to update after a change to the domain. You won’t be able to start the transfer until Whois shows your domain is unlocked so we can detect it there.

  It looks like the domain is indeed locked for transfers, have a look:

  

  You can find this information here.

  I’d recommend getting in touch with your current registrar for more information.
