    Hello everyone, I finally made the costly change to move my blog from WordPress.com to www.ads-software.com

    Anyway. In the new www.ads-software.com wp-admin page I changed the url to a domain I already have mapped to my WordPress.com blog.

    Now whenever I go to the url of my new www.ads-software.com blog and try to navigate to /wp-admin it simply redirects me to my old WordPress.com admin panel.

    Any ideas? I want to map my domain to my new www.ads-software.com blog and remove it from my old one and make the .com blog private. But now I can’t even get into the wp-admin panel of my new .org blog :/

  • Hi,

    here are some guidelines may be you are missing something, so have a look at these links.

    https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-move-your-blog-from-wordpress-com-to-wordpress-org/
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/

    If you have trouble with the full domain, then add this code at the bottom of your wp-config file:

    define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://www.yourdomain.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://www.yourdomain.com’);

    Just add the exact domain as worked in the past, if you used a simple domain.com without www then delete the wwww from the above code and don’t forget to
    change “yourdomain” with your Url.

    Hi both of you and thanks for the replies.

    I use a .fi domain, it’s not a typical .com one.

    Currently I still have it linked to my wordpress.com blog but I wanted to release it from that blog and transfer it over to my www.ads-software.com blog which is hosted on a droplet by Digital Ocean.

    @codemovement I did follow that first tutorial by the letter but encountered this issue with redirection when I added my .fi domain into the site URL box on my .org blog…

    So in real simple terms, what I want to do is:

    1. Remove my .fi domain from my WordPress.com blog (so I can put it on my .org blog)

    2. Fix this issue I have now with the /wp-admin page always redirecting me back to my .com blog, instead of showing me my .org wordpress admin panel…

    Any ideas? I’ve been looking around but I can’t seem to find anything other than the basic guides which only cover moving from .com to .org. I’ve already imported my blog over to .org and I need other support now.

    Hmm I can’t edit the above post any more.

    Anyway so I removed the domain mapping from my WordPress.com blog. It’s now using the blog.wordpress.com domain as its primary domain. ( There goes €13 :/ )

    I then went to my .fi domain registrar’s control panel and I put in 2 new nameservers from “Zonomi” which is a free DNS service. They said in the control panel to use (ns1 and ns6) on the domain registrar page.

    In the Zonomi control panel I added the I.P. address of the new .org blog (hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet) into the ‘A’ record.

    Doing a DNS check it shows that my .fi domain is still using WordPress’ nameservers. Also navigating to my .fi domain returns the error:

    Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.

    I guess I have to wait for it to change.
