    My wordpress blog is down...please help

    Hello everyone and happy new year! I was trying to log into my wordpress site through CPanel "WP-ADMIN" and my site seems to be down! Instead of my domain name, "http://cheflabarre.com" pointing to my blog, it forwards itself to my old blog, which is a free version of wordpress I used to use. I really need to get in and edit my blog, any help would be very appreciated!

    Hello.

    Verify your domain forwarding settings.

    It looks like your domain is redirected:

    http://redirectdetective.com/

    Thank you! Not sure how that happened as my domain didnt forward before. Interesting. I went into my settings and turned off forwarding and now my site doesnt show up at all.

    You have to make it point back to your hosting.

    What type of hosting do you have?

    Linux / Windows?

    With cPanel or without?

    I'm being hosted through Godaddy.com and using CPanel to manage this domain. I had it pointing to my premium wordpress account but, for some reason, it stopped forwarding to that link and started forwarding to my OLD blog, which was a free version of wordpress.

    You need to verify and edit your domain DNS settings.

    Unfortunately I have no experience with the premium WordPress accounts but this is what I could found:

    I hope it will help you.

    Good luck.

    🙂
