  I recently made a WordPress.com blog and purchased a custom domain (monicaedelman.com). I moved to bluehost and wordpress.org and I register monicaedelman.com as my primary domain and changed the DNS on the domain in wordpress.com. I changed my URL in wordpress.org to monicaedelman.com and now i dont have access to wp.org admin, and my custom domain is still linked to my old wordpress.com blog. help please

  Hi,

  Can you try again? If it isn’t working, you may need to clear your browser’s cache (instructions).

  When changes are made to a domain, it takes several hours for the changes to be reflected across the Internet due to the way the domain name system is designed. If you changed the nameservers on WordPress.com for your domain, then immediately tried to find your site on BlueHost, it likely failed for that reason.

  Typically, it can take anywhere from between an hour to 72 hours for the changes to be effective, though most often it is closer to 2-12.

  I’m seeing your new site on my end and everything is set correctly.

  Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. Congrats on your site and enjoy using Genesis.

  Cheers!
