Problems installing through bluehost

    Hi guys

    I recently tried to move from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. I already had a custom domain name registered through wordpress.com.

    I signed up with bluehost and followed the instructions for installing wordpress, and changed the nameservers to point to bluehost instead of wordpress.com.

    The problem is that when I go to sign in to my admin dashboard (www.yoursiteaddress.com/wp-admin) it takes me straight to http://www.yoursiteaddress.wordpress.com/wp-login and I can only see the old wordpress.com dashboard. I’m not given any opportunity to login with the new username/password that bluehost gave me.

    I assume that I have missed an important step along the way, but I have no idea how to fix it.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    Hey Emma,

    If you’ve done the changing name servers part correctly then it should take a short while before your site resolves to www.yoursiteaddress.com/wp-admin , sometimes upto 72 hours. I’d say give it some time and if this still does not work then check your nameservers and see if they point to what BlueHost gave you.

    Thanks lumberhack. I’ll give it a couple of days and hopefully that will resolve the problem.

    Clearly I’m too impatient!
