Changing DNS

  • andremuniz86 · Member ·

    Hi! I have a blog on WordPress (precife.wordpress.com) and am trying to use a domain that I purchased (at UOLHost domains register). However, I do not succeed, because when I try to put that domain on WordPress, I get the following message:

    “Currently the nameservers for this domain Appear to be:

    NS1.DOMINIOS.UOL.COM.BR
    NS2.DOMINIOS.UOL.COM.BR
    NS3.DOMINIOS.UOL.COM.BR

    Using the tool provided by your DNS service domains (domain registrar), remove any add nameservers and the nameservers below:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    Then come back and try again”

    I tried all ways to perform the procedure above, (to change the DNS authority on UOLHost website), but the response I get is that the DNS can not be changed without creating a DNS zone on WordPress for the domain.

    I would appreciate if you could help me. I’ve read all sorts of FAQ, but could not solve the problem.

    Could you please let me know which .com.br domain address you tried to map?

    Sure.

    projetorecife.com.br

    Howdy,

    I’ve added a zone record for that domain, so you should now be able to change your name servers to:

    ns1.wordpress.com
    ns2.wordpress.com
    ns3.wordpress.com

    Well… I’m in trouble again.

    As you can see in this image, I set the WordPress domain as the main domain, and the purchased domain as a redirector to the blog. However, when I try to access my blog, it is redirected to the purchased domain (.com.br), when the opposite should be happening. Did I do something wrong?

    PS: sorry for my english.

    Update: the WordPress domain isn’t redirecting to the purchased domain anymore, but the purchased domain isn’t redirecting to the WordPress domain =(

    Hi there,

    Please make sure your domain, projetorecife.com.br, is set as the primary domain at Store -> Domains.

    Keep in mind that domain changes can take a little while to take full effect, so these issues should resolve themselves.
