  I always had my URL without wordpress in it (www.yourlogorhythm.com)
  now all of a sudden when I login to my dashboard and edit anything to my site (theme etc), nothing changes to the actual URL (www.yourlogorhythm.com) but all the changes are being made to http://www.yourlogorhythm.wordpress.com

  Please help.

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

  This is “normal” behaviour. For my blog http://DonCharisma.org in my dashboard I see http://DonCharisma.WordPress.com …

  I don’t know the technical reasons behind it, and way back when, when I first noticed it I thought it was strange too. But I’ve accepted it, and it doesn’t make any difference to your blog/website readers, they just see your “proper” domain name.

  Hope this helps

  Cheers

  Works fine on my blog, so I’m not understanding what the issue is. Perhaps you can give more detail and an example if you’re still having an issue.

  Cheers

  @galois – thanks, now that makes sense !

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  @samarazzak,

  As @Galois mentioned, it looks like you’re referring to two different sites.

  The site yourlogorhythm.wordpress.com is hosted here at WordPress.com.

  The site http://www.yourlogorhythm.com is registered at GoDaddy and seems to be using HostGator name servers. To edit the content there, you’ll need to login directly to that site using the login here:

  http://www.yourlogorhythm.com/wp-admin

  Changes to yourlogorhythm.wordpress.com will not be reflected on http://www.yourlogorhythm.com.

  Hi @samarazzak,

  Can you login to yourlogorhythm.com/wp-admin and give this another try? The two sites are completely separate so you shouldn’t notice any crossover.

  All edits done to yourlogorhythm.wordpress.com would need to be done at yourlogorhythm.wordpress.com/wp-admin.

  All edits for yourlogorhythm.com would need to be done at yourlogorhythm.com/wp-admin.
