 * Hello,
 * A friend asked me about doing a wordpress site.
    He has the domain name but no
   hosting plan… I have a hosting plan.
 * So, in the beginning I made a folder in Public HTML called “pandanusmissionbeach”.
   
   I installed WordPress there and have the site looking good now.
 * Tonight im trying to redirect the Domain Name to the new WP install site.
 * I created an Add On Domain “pandanusmissionbeach.com” and redirected it to the
   Wp site “ellefreemanfoundation.com/pandanusmissionbeach/”.
 * I then changed Name-Servers at the Registrar to my hostgator nameservers… now
   expecting a propagation waiting period.
 * For some reason I hit a desktop shortcut to the Domain Name by accident and Knock
   Me Over – IT WORKED !!
    EXCEPT – The URL shows the WP install ( ellefreemanfoundation.
   com/pandanusmissionbeach/ ), not the proper Domain Name – pandanusmissionbeach.
   com
 * Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.
    Cheers Joe

 * Make sure that you have the domain mapped properly (check with your hosting provider)
   then change the URLs at Settings > General in the site’s Dashboard.
