  Hi, I recently cancelled my domain name subscription after a few years for personal reasons, so now instead of thecrazydonny.com/xxx, it’s back to thecrazydonny.wordpress.com/xxx. I just went on Google Search to look for one of my articles, but the url displayed on the search engine is the old thecrazydonny.com/xxx without the wordpress domain. When I clicked on it, the page would not load up. I suspect the culprit is Google Search didn’t update to the new url, thecrazydonny.wordpress.com/xxx. How do I fix this problem and update the url?

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

  One more thing, if i key in thecrazydonny.com (my old domain), it doesn’t automatically redirect the viewer to the new (free) domain, thecrazydonny.wordpress.com. It shows an empty page saying, ‘This page is parked free, courtesy of WordPress.com’. Why isn’t wordpress automatically redirecting traffic to my current address? It was my domain that I once owned, showing that page makes me assume that someone else can buy my old domain, which shouldn’t be the case when I permanently own thecrazydonny.wordpress.com.

  I don’t mind if search engines keep displaying links with the url, thecrazydonny.com/xxx, but I want all traffic then to be redirected to my new domain thecrazydonny.wordpress.com/xxx.

  This is my main problem.

  Please WordPress get back to me soon, thanks
