    We’ve received this escalation regarding transferring the domain fireya.co.in.
     
    After reviewing this ticket and checking the domain status, you will need to continue working with WordPress on this. The domain is successfully unlocked and should be good for transfer. There is no lock on the domain, and the domain is in good standing.
     
    The error message is showing on the WordPress side, so they should be able to provide further details on the error message, including reviewing their backend logs.
     
    They may then be able to determine if this is a Squarespace issue, and then we can move ahead to assist. At this stage, no errors show on our end as the domain is transferring to WordPress.
     
    With WordPress, please also ensure you are speaking to their customer service team. In some instances, especially in the forum, anyone can answer your queries. If you are indeed speaking to their support, you may need to request an escalation to a higher tier of support, as frontline support may not have the tools or expertise to determine the issue with the domain transfer.
     
    To confirm you are speaking to their support team, they would usuall have a “Staff” tag next to their name.
     
    I hope this information helps to clear things up and point you in the right direction. If you have any other questions, let us know and we’ll be happy to help.
