  Hi there!

  gracefulfoodcom.wordpress.com is the underlying WordPress.com address of your site. All WordPress.com sites have a unique WordPress.com address. However, your visitors see any custom domain you add to your site and set as the primary address.

  I can see that you added gracefulfood.com, but it’s not yet configured properly. When it’s configured, your site will load at gracefulfood.com.

  The domain appears to be registered with GoDaddy. You’ll want to change the domain’s nameservers to point it to your WordPress.com site. This is done on GoDaddy’s website, as the domain is registered with them.

  The WordPress.com nameservers are:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  You can contact GoDaddy and ask them to do this for you, or you can do it yourself on their website.

  It may take up to 72 hours for the nameserver change to take effect after they have been updated.

  Note that if you have email services with the domain, you will need to copy the DNS records for the email services to WordPress.com as well. You can also contact your email service provider to send you the required DNS records, and we can help you add those to your domain here on WordPress.com.

  After the nameserver changes have propagated, you can set the domain as the primary address. Here’s how:

  Your primary site address is the domain that people will see in their browser’s address bar when they visit your site. It is the address you use to promote your website. With a WordPress.com plan, you can set a custom domain as the primary site address. Without a paid plan, all custom domain(s) on the site will automatically redirect to your free .wordpress.com or .wpcomstaging.com site address

  At that point, your WordPress.com site will load at gracefulfood.com instead of showing the WordPress.com address, gracefulfoodcom.wordpress.com.

  Hope that helps! Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
