Why is my new email forwarding working?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have received the email to confirm the email forwarding but it is not working, it does not forward mails after I click on send. I change my domain from deliaenskype.wordpress.com to spanishenskype.com.

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

    Hi there,

    I checked your email forwarding, and the forward you set up hasn’t been confirmed yet.

    I just resent the confirmation email to you. Can you please click the confirmation link in that email? That will activate your email forwarding.

    If you have any trouble with it, please let me know. :)

    Hi Rachel,

    Thank you very much for answering me so quick.
    I have done three times what you asked me to do, two times yesterday and one today from your email confirmation, but I still have no response, the page I get is a blank page and do nothing else, have I done something wrong while changing the domain? (I am using safari)

    Thank you,

    Delia

    Hi Delia,

    I don’t see anything wrong with your domain settings, but the email confirmation shouldn’t take you to a blank page. Let’s see if we can get the email confirmation to work properly. Can you please try these steps:

    • Make sure you are logged in to your WordPress.com account in Safari.
    • Open the confirmation email, right click on the “Confirm Email Forward” button, and click on “Copy Link.”
    • In Safari, paste the link into the address bar and hit Enter to visit the link.

    You should be taken to your blog’s dashboard with a message telling you that the email address was confirmed. If that doesn’t work, or if you have any questions, please let me know. :)

    Hi Delia,

    I’m so glad that worked! :) You’re very welcome.

    Hi Rachel,

    Now that you offer it, I was wondering why on my side bar it says: We cannot load blog data at this time.
    I am sorry to ask you this as well, but what are the differences between the free blog that I had deliaenskype.wordpress.com and the new name spanishenskype.com? I can find wordpress.com vs wordpress.org but not the other.

    Thank you very much for your help,
    Delia

    Hi Delia,

    I’m happy to help with these questions. :)

    Now that you offer it, I was wondering why on my side bar it says: We cannot load blog data at this time.

    Can you tell me where you are seeing that message? I just looked at your sidebar on your blog and didn’t see it. It looks like all of your sidebar widgets are working now, but if you still see it please let me know.

    what are the differences between the free blog that I had deliaenskype.wordpress.com and the new name spanishenskype.com?

    There isn’t any difference for the blog itself — the only difference is the address your blog’s visitors use to get to your blog. Instead of seeing deliaenskype.wordpress.com in their browser’s address bar, they will see your custom domain name spanishenskype.com.

    Your blog is still hosted here at WordPress.com, not WordPress.org, so other features on the blog haven’t changed. You can learn more about custom domains here: Domains

    Please let me know if you have any other questions about that. :)

    Dear Rachel,
    I don’t know if you can help me with this, it is from wordpress.org.
    1. I have a problem with Comments, all the post work fine but the last one I posted. When I click on the Comment link it shows a page not a form, I have tried in forums but nothing similar to this problem.
    2. The widget “Recent post” shows the last post, this is fine but when I click on it it takes me to a page not to the recent post with that name. What shall I do? Never happened before.
    My web is: http://www.e-activo.org
    Please, if you cannot help me because is about .org, could you tell me where to go? .org has no answers either…

    Thank you very much,

    Delia

    To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. You can read more about that here:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
