I’m trying to change the domain to point to a GitHub page but it keeps pointing to my wordpress site. I’m guessing it’s nameservers conflict. Why can’t I edit them?

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

There isn’t a GitHub Pages site here.

If you’re trying to publish one, read the full documentation to learn how to set up GitHub Pages for your repository, organization, or user account.

Oh, I forgot to add the CNAME record again. It doesn’t change anything though.

Hi @m4jor1, which domain are you trying to change? I see one that was on this account but it was transferred elsewhere.

that should be the one (georgemamar.com). It’s showing a “your connection isn’t private” error now, and not redirecting to GH Pages.

Hi m4jor1,

Thanks for confirming. georgemamar.com was transferred away from WordPress.com to Enom. You will need to login to your Enom account to update the name servers as they now control the domain:
