# Domain URL Help please

 * Hi. I’m really hoping someone can help me. I’ve built a new website on WordPress.
   org hosted by Ionos, on the link provided. It was all ready to go so I’ve started
   the domain transfer. Stupidly, I updated the domain in my WordPress.org dashboard
   settings too soon, rookie error. Now, when I try to connect the domain or do 
   anything in Ionos, it’s reverting to WordPress.com which is where the old site
   is located. I don’t need to transfer any of the old data or images as it’s a 
   completely new site but I can’t get back into WordPress.org to change the URL
   back to the dummy one WordPress supplied. I’m guessing this is what I need to
   do to get me back on the right path?
 * I cannot access my WordPress.org dashboard directly as I don’t think I had a 
   log in to do this. I always accessed it by logging into Ionos. Lesson learned.
   I do hope this makes some sense to someone and I’d really appreciate any help
   you can offer. Thank you.

 * What were the details you updated in the wordpress.org dashboard? If you put 
   in the correct details, after the domain transfer completes (can be a few days),
   after that then it takes up to 72 hours for DNS to propagate across the web (
   use dnschecker.org to see progress) that it may start working again for you. 
   If you could tell me what fields you updated that would be helpful (ex you updated
   new host IP, DNS, etc)
