    Hello @festiveaffairs,
    How may days has it been since you added the name-servers? Because it can take upto 72 hours sometimes for the change to take affect.

    If it is more than 72 hours then please,
    1.
    Make sure you added name-server details correctly. If you are not sure and have doubts, then you can contact the support department at your domain registrar for help and request them to solve the issue by including this in your email:

    I would like to use my domain with a WordPress.com site. In order to do this, I need to point my domain’s name servers to the following:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    2.
    If you are confident about everything you did, then make sure you have set your custom domain as your primary domain for WordPress.com site.

    Follow the instructions given here to set a primary domain:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#setting-the-primary-domain

    3.
    Sometimes, you maybe required to clear the browser cache and cookies.
    And also flush your DNS resolver cache by typing this command

    ipconfig /flushdns

    on CMD.

    Let me know if this helps :)
