WordPress.org

   Hi,

   I used to have a wordpress.com blog which had domain mapping on it to make it point to http://www.kentfamilysolicitor.com

   Yesterday I
   1) Cancelled the domain mapping feature on my wordpress.com account
   2) Created a wordpress.org account hosted by bluehost
   3) Transferred my content from wordpress.com to wordpress.org

   The site was working fine.

   Today, when I go to my domain as a visitor I get a HTTP 500 Internal Server error message.

   Also, when I try to login to my wordpress.org account backend I get the message: Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please login and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain. It also removes the www. as if it is still trying to go to my wordpress.com account.

   How do I solve this problem?

   Please help!

   The nameservers on your domain are still pointing to WordPress.com's nameservers:

   http://whois.domaintools.com/kentfamilysolicitor.com

   You'll need to point them to Bluehost by following this guide:

   You're welcome!

   Keep in mind that it can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less) for the change to propagate to your ISP. It all depends on how often your ISP refreshes their DNS cache.
