    I switched from wordpress hosting to hoststinger and started a new site with the same domain, leaving wordpress.com stranded.

    But every time i’m editing the www.remarpro.com site it randomly refreshes the screen and asks me to log into wordpress.com?? If i don’t, and close the page to load Wp Admin from hoststinger, it shows a wordpress.com 404 page error. But if I log in when it asks, it forces me over to the wordpress.com dashboard with my old site – from the www.remarpro.com site.

    Hoststinger have all kept saying clear cache etc, I have done this on everything mutliple multiple times and it always happens, i even deleted the whole site and started it again and it still happens.

    – Jetpack is not installed on the www.remarpro.com site
    – The www.remarpro.com site i imported from a wordpress.com export under Tools > Export

    Yes so this is how i log in, using hoststinger, everything seems fine.

    Then, after jumping around a few tabs or going to the plugins, or at some point it will randomly refresh and ask me to log into wordpress.com – when I don’t do this and close the page the hoststinger wp admin now doesnt work with a wordpress.com 404 error like this

    but now that i have logged in to try see what happens if i log into wordpress.com when it asks…

    It randomly takes me from this dashboard

    To this

    In one click (when i click on something to the left on the www.remarpro.com dashboard with hostinger), which is the wordpress.com site and dashboard.

    So if i am on the hoststinger www.remarpro.com site and click installed plugins, it loads the installed plugins on my wordpress.com dashboard like the image shown above with the staging domain. and it does this randomly at times… it’s not one certain thing that does it.

    my domain and hosting is all pointed to hoststinger, it shouldn’t even pick up on wordpress.com.

    That is bizarre.

    Does the issue continue with all plugins deactivated?

    So, I figured it out… and oh gosh… what a headache

    For anyone in future that might read this and think this is exactly happening.

    The issue MIGHT be for you – your public DNS cache, it’s a caching problem.

    You need to ask your hosting provider if they can flush your DNS cache using this google tool – https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/cache (or another way if possible, this is the one I’ve been shown and what they did for me)

    Or do it yourself if you know how…

    And then, if you’re on a macbook go to Settings > Network> on your wifi select “details” > DNS > then forget the 1-2 IPs that are in there, open it back up, and put in google’s public DNS addresses (then keep it this way is what i’m doing) Mac version for me is sonoma 14.4.1 currently.

    More info on google public dns here – https://www.brontobytes.com/blog/advantages-google-public-dns/

    You replace the ones you have to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, which are googles.

    Now try go to your domain and WP admin panel again.

    (clear browser cache and anything else as well to make sure)

    This completely solved the issue for me.

    Ah, that makes sense!

    When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, your domain may not be available, may go to its old location, or you may receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors.”

    If you still have trouble viewing the site after 24 hours have passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache: https://www.refreshyourcache.com/

    If that doesn’t work, try clearing your local DNS cache: https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html

    You don’t need to use Google’s DNS resolvers, it just helps use a DNS resolver which offers a way to clear their cache too. When you can do that, there’s no waiting involved. Clear the DNS resolver’s cache, then your local DNS cache, then your browser’s cache, and you’re good to go.

    Here are some solid non-Google recommendations: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/
