WordPress says my site doesn't exist

  • Unknown's avatar

    WordPress says my blog doesn’t exist when you search my website name, I just get an error message. I have my domain name; thelaurenklein.com mapped to communitycomposers.wordpress.com, which is my free wordpress site. I’ve tried troubleshooting by looking under domains and mapping, I’ve tried changing the url thelaurenklein.com to map to communitycomposers.wordpress.com, but I get an error message saying that you can’t map a domain to itself. Additionally, when I go to edit the website itself, it’s intact and all my content is still there, on the back end everything’s fine, but when I type my url into a search bar it says it doesnt exist. Help is heavily needed!

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

    Hi laurenbklein,

    I can see you originally purchased domain mapping to connect thelaurenklein.com to communitycomposers.wordpress.com. You then purchased a redirect, which is what was causing the problem. Site redirects are used to redirect traffic from one site to another, but in this case it was redirecting your site back to itself.

    I’ve added domain mapping to your account instead. You may need to clear your browser cache to see the change, which can be done using these steps:

    Let me know if that helps.

    Thanks!
