wp.me shortlinks using old domain?

    Hi there!

    It appears that my wp.me shortlinks are still reflecting my old domain name (www.hothouseblog.org), even though everything else is running smooth and the new domain (www.hothousemagazine.org) reflected in my general settings.

    Seems like a lot of folks realize this problem when using link posting plugins like JetPack and Wordbooker, neither of which has led me to a solution.

    Any kind soul have advice on this issue?

    Cheers!

    Daniel

    I had the same issue. I built up my site on a test domain. After transferring the site to the new domain (using “Duplicator” plugin), the shortlinks still linked to the old domain.

    I found this solution on another thread:

    Simply go into your Jetpack plugin settings, then “Disconnect” from WordPress.com. Then re-connect it again immediately. I think this forces Jetpack to read the proper domain settings again, and will start generating proper Short links to your blog.

    Here is the link to the full thread:
