  I changed the URL under Settings and General. It used to be pawpals.me and I changed it to pawpals.doggroomerservice.me
  It will no longer let me access my website. What can I do to fix this problem?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  The website you’ve posted is using the open-source WordPress.org and this forum is for the hosted WordPress.com platform.

  Hi there,

  Changing the domain on a stand-alone WordPress site like yours has to follow a specific process. You can find the documentation for that process here.

  However, many hosting providers have their own process for this. So depending on your setup, you might be able to fix this yourself using those instructions. If not, please contact your hosting provider directly for help.
