  Hey there,

  Your domain, jenboyer.com, does not expire until January 11, 2013. Where did you receive notice that your domain has expired?

  If you’d like your custom domain to be the primary method of access for your blog, you should set is as your primary domain.

  Best,
  P.

  Thank you for your help!

  I went back and reset my wordpress domain to be the primary domain, which is why the site is showing up now. But yesterday morning, when my custom domain was still primary, a pop-up screen appeared that said something to the effect of, “This domain expired 254 days ago.”

  Should I go back and set the custom domain to primary so you can see what I’m talking about?

  To clarify: The pop-up message appeared when I tried to go to the website via the custom domain. I was not logged in — just trying to view the site as a site visitor would.

  Thank you!

  Greetings! :-)

  I briefly switched your primary domain to jenboyer.com to see if the message appears this time in an Incognito window in Google Chrome, and it doesn’t appear for me.

  Can you clear your browser cache, switch your primary domain, then give it another try?

  If you still see the same message as before, please take a screenshot image and upload it to your Media Library, then let me know.

  Thanks!
