unlocked my domain with WP, but other registrar still says locked

  • Unknown's avatar

    I went through the 2-step unlock process with my WP-owned domain.
    WP said ‘domain unlocked’ and sent me the transfer code.
    I entered it (@ iPage) –
    at this point I’m not sure – I was supposed to get a confirmation email? Can’t find it.
    And now, WP still says ‘domain unlocked’, but iPage says ‘locked’ if I enter the transfer code.
    And the domain is indeed locked in the public registry.
    This has lasted for 3 days.
    Does entering a transfer request lock a domain? Am I just blindly missing that confirmation email?

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

    Hi there!

    Are you speaking about this domain: oahu-travel-guide.com?

    Please reply to confirm! We are having issues with domain unlocking which our developers are looking into. If that is the domain I will report this.

    Thank you and so sorry for the inconvenience!

    It is oahu-travel-guide.com, yes.
    Thanks for looking into it.
    I can see it auto-locks after a set amount of time, as WP now shows it as locked for a 3rd time. (although it was always locked publicly)
    Is it possible there is a ‘pending transfer’ status on it which is locking it, as I already entered a transfer code at iPage ?

    Hi there,

    Thank you for the confirmation. I have reported your domain to our team. Unfortunately, if it is locked it cannot be transferred.

    I’m so sorry about this, our team is in talks with our registrar to get this going as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your patience.

    HI there,

    I’ve received word that this should be working now!

    Please try unlocking the domain now and see if it goes through. Let me know if that is not the case!

    Thank you for your patience!
