Hi everyone...

I finished building my site a few days ago. Then I added in the first post, announced on the social sites... my aunt left a comment and as I hit the approve button -- the entire site disappeared.

I am trying to rebuild... I'm using the Yoko theme. When I reactivated, some of the text that I had added to the footer was still there. All of my plugins were still there but all were deactivated. I had a fully written About page along with Contact, Blogroll and Disclosure pages. Those all were completely gone.

So I had save a draft of my original first post and I have re-uploaded that and my header. I am working through the plugins and their settings, but I am very nervous about something happening again, because the site itself is moving very slowly.

I lease space through Host Gator and all my sites are WP and none of them have experienced any of these problems. Any advice please???

Hugs,
Melissa

It takes anywhere from 24-72 hours for a domain DNS record change to propogate through all the internet nameservers although typically it is less than 24.

Your old URL should still work fine, but it will take around 24 for the custom domain show up and be stable.

Before we can try to help, we'd need both URL's, the WordPress.com one and the domain name that you want to map to. Start both with http:// so that it is clickable.

So I have a 6 page site, but have chosen pages, instead of a blog home page. I was working on it fine setting it up and wanted to aim my domain name I already had. I did the research and changed the DNS setting to WordPress settings and that was fine. Then I went into the dashboard and went to settings, general and saw there where there was the current URL that my company set me up with. So, I changed it to my domain name on both spots and, the whole site disappeared, and I cant get back on to change anything. After all that, I just found out I can't do the domain name and have to pay $12. but I can't get on the site to do it, yikes!

I also have other things I couldn't do, like how do you connect your pictures you uploaded to the page. It ask for a URL. Well I would appreciate any help.
Thank you
