Tried to move to wordpress.org. Failed!
-
Hi,
I tried to move to wordpress.org and although i seemed to get everything up and running using the .org software I couldn’t redirect my blog. It just came up with the bluehost page.
I changed the nameservers back to wordpress.com so that my blog would still be functional until I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I can’t get it back though. I can log in and check it out from the admin side but people are still getting the bluehost site.
Anyone able to help?
thanks
James

That is indeed pointing to Bluehost, but it’s only pointing to Bluehost.com. Are you sure you installed WordPress.org software already? These are the instructions for changing the nameservers; note that once you change them, it can take up to 72 hours for the change to be reflected in what you see http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/

I installed the software for sure, cause I had it up and running, and was changing my theme and layout. I changed the instructions as per that link, I spoke to bluehost and the said I needed nameservers that point to wordpress.org but I don’t think they exist. So I tried to move it back while I read up on it and see what’s going on but now I am stuck on that page even though my nameservers point to wordpress.com

Well, you don’t really want your nameservers to point to WP.com. You want them to point to your new blog. Follow the instructions.
These are the nameservers for Bluehost https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/1

Yeah, I got that…..but for now, if I want to go back to the old one, while I figure out what step I missed or why it wasn’t taking people straight to the new blog how to I go back to wordpress.com?
