  Hi, we have recently decided to make our website through WordPress.com We have an upgraded account; therefore, we have custom CSS as well as having to use our own domain.

  I have successfully updated the nameservers from our domain registry, the primary domain in WordPress.com (including the the DNS records). However, when I go to the homepage, it shows the homepage of our old website. All the other pages shows the webpages created in WordPress.com. If I go to the edit page of the home page, it shows the right URL of our homepage. But if we click the “view page”, it shows the old homepage of our website.

  Is there anything else I missed out? How can I make our homepage show the homepage we created using WordPress? Please help. :)

  For starters you are in violation of the Terms of service and your blog can be suspended with no notice – you need to put the footer back very very quickly – see also the terms of service links below

  The current policy about the footer in the support documentation:

  May I remove the ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ credit in my site’s footer?
  Although the Custom Design Upgrade certainly grants you the capability to hide the credit from your site’s footer, you are not permitted to do so. Even our VIP bloggers are required to maintain the credit.

  Thank you! I placed the footer back up again.
  And the pages are already appearing just fine after I wrote my concern in the forum.
