WordPress blog page not loading after domain mapping
-
I mapped WordPress blog to a custom domain (www.socialmantra.net) I purchased. Soon after mapping both the WordPress blog page and the email server are giving problems. The WordPress blog/site doesn’t show-up most of the time.
The blog I am having problem with is http://www.socialmantra.net
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

socialmantra.net – loads fine for me – you might have a caching issue – try clearing your cache
This should get you pointed in the right direction for email

@auxclass Thanks. Have cleared cache and cookies several times, but the problem persists. The problem persists on my BlackBerry and on my friends’ computers (both Windows and Mac). On most occasions, the site doesn’t load; then suddenly it loads without any specific reason. It’s an enigma. Feel it’s a WordPress problem. Please help.

It looks like some routers are slow to update their cache

this is one of those times – DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING – you just need to wait for the internet to finish updating
You will be the last one to have a stable site due to caching issues – have a tall cool or warm favorite drink and relax

It is my best answer –
See the global name server settings: http://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/socialmantra.net
Your name servers are not updating – I don’t know if you change the name servers every few hours or if you have set something else strange –
Don’t whack me about “best answers” I don’t get paid to try and help you – this is a peer forum of fellow bloggers –
Do you have some sort of redirect somewhere?
Any other setting other than name servers?
You are a bit rude but I will flag this for the staff to review things anyway
-
If the following is how your name servers are set – they your site will never load reliably – need to only be pointing to WordPress.COM
Your name servers are as follows:
DNS4.DOMAINREGISTRATIONINDIA.COM
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COMFollow these instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

@auxclass I appreciate your help in responding to my query.
Didn’t mean to be rude. I was merely responding to a techie suggesting that the only thing to do is simply wait for the problem to be resolved on its own (considering the fact that a month has already gone by waiting).
I don’t even know what a ‘redirect’ is. Nor do I know what name servers are. That’s how poor my knowledge is in these tech matters. I’m working on faith – hoping that the service I paid WordPress for will work.
Sorry.
-
It looks like the name servers are not set correctly – that is changed where your domain name is registered – if the extra name server is set to DNS4.DOMAINREGISTRATIONINDIA.COM – things will never work
Go back to your registrar and review the settings for the name servers – if you are not comfortable working with the settings at your registrar then all registrars have some sort of help system or tech support – ask them for help – refer them to this thread if you want – there is also a link above on mapping to an existing domain name – give your registrar that link also
-
Every time a change is made it takes a while for the changes to reach the far corners of the internet – Domain Helper now shows just the correct three name servers – so keep the faith – caching issues can be a problem – you can try clearing the browser caches again
good luck

There were a couple of routers that just hung onto the old info for what looked like forever
I love it when a plan comes together :)
You be welcome
