Was working, not it's not

  • Today I moved from wordpress.com to .org (via a Dreamhost one click install). Everything was going fine, and I installed my theme (liquorice- the same as I had with wordpress.com) – was having a mental breakdown because I don’t know how to customize it just to how mine looked on .com, but that’s a different problem – then out of nowhere chrome says my webpage has a redirect loop. I deleted browsing history, cookies, everything, and it still won’t work.
    Then I went to Safari and my website comes up and looks just as it did before I spent hours migrating to .org. And now when I log into wordpress I can only use my old .com username and password, and the admin panel looks exactly the same. I don’t understand what’s going on. Can anyone help?

    Can you provide a link to your site?

    It’s so weird. When I try to go to my site on google chrome, it says site redirect loop. When I go to the site on Safari it looks how it used to look. And when my boyfriend goes to my site on google chrome from his computer, it’s the newish verion.

    thank you

    Sounds like possibly a DNS issue? Looks like you just changed the nameservers today? That can take up to 72 hours (usually it’s less) to fully propagate. Have you cleared your browser cache and cookies?

    Yes I have cleared all of that. The thing is it was working before. I was getting everything all set up then all the sudden it kicked me out and went back to the old version. (wordpress.com not .org install through dreamhost)

    Im talking to someone at dreamhost and its a dns issue. I think they’re figuring it out. Thank you for your replies.
    Any good tips or websites for someone who has no idea about coding or css?! Very stressed out since this move this morning.

    Ah good – FWIW, I see your new site fine (at least from what I can tell). Switching to .ORG is often a bit of an adjustment, but you’ll get it sorted and get used to the differences – so don’t stress-out too much :)!

    There’s lots of good CSS resources out there – a few:

    For sure, install and learn how to use Firebug – https://getfirebug.com/

    https://www.w3schools.com/css/

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn/css

    The other thing you may want to be aware of is that if you modify theme files, your changes will be lost when the theme is updated. If you only want to make CSS changes, custom CSS is great, but otherwise you should make a child theme –
