Issue with wordpress.com

  • Hello, I’ve recently started making a website, so I decided to use wordpress connected to CPanel with google domains. But the issue was I unknowingly started with wordpress.com instead of www.ads-software.com and made a site and tried to connect it to my domain. Now I switched my site to www.ads-software.com and installed into my CPanel and have been working on my site.

    After redirecting my site so it went where I wanted I noticed that https://www.ewddesigns.com worked fine how I wanted, but ewddesigns.com links me to the wordpress.com site that I deleted and deleted the account to. I checked the DNS and nothing is different from how it should be set up, and honestly I have no idea how this wordpress.com site is still on the domain. If anyone has had any prior experience with it or knows how to remove it, I would really appreciate it.

    https://www.ewddesigns.com/ewd is the real domain/WP that I set up (I don’t know how to not show the ewd, so if anyone could help me on that, I’d appreciate it.)

    Everything is directing to the self-hosted site for me.

    When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, your domain may go to its old location, and you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors.”

    If you still have trouble viewing the site after 24 hours have passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache: https://www.refreshyourcache.com/

    If that doesn’t work, try clearing your local DNS cache: https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html

    It is working fine from here and I double checked the DNS records… they look fine to me. It’s either some cache holding you up or a DNS delay. Wait it out a bit or ask your web host for help.

    Once things settle down for you then you can follow these directions to make your WordPress work from the ‘EWD’ directory as if it was installed in the web root. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    Hope this helps.
