 * I have changed the above domain to my permanent domain [http://brightonlives.org.uk](http://brightonlives.org.uk)
   in settings-general, both in site address URL and WordPress address URL. Having
   saved, I now get a 404 error page not found. The address WordPress points to 
   [https://brightonlives.org.uk](https://brightonlives.org.uk). and comes up with
   404. I haven’t set up SSL yet. I cannot now get back into my admin to download
   plugins and the theme has disappeared in ‘visit site’. can you suggest what I
   can do please? My host is Bluehost and the domain was bought from Domain.com.
   Domain.com have transferred the domain for me.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdomain-transfer-problem%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Check your DNS records to verify the entries at your host. Did you change the
   A record and other records for the new name.
 * I usually create a new web site for a name change. Get it working and use duplicator
   to make a copy and move it to the new site.

 * I haven’t made any changes to the DNS record at Bluehost. Having looked at these,
   including the A record, I am not sure how to go about this as I am new to setting
   up a website. can you advise please?
