    It IS redirecting. You type in one address, you automatically end up at a second address. That's what redirection is.

    You can't fix it.

      Kamal,

      You're using a Wordpress.com site right? The free version?

      Is this a site you'll be monetising?

    If that's the case you need to get dedicated web hosting
    That's nonsense...

    Richard, No, it is another, my website is not on Wordpress, I want to make one more website with Challenge because in that one i got some mistakes, so I want this to be really full.

    I had some problems with redirecting too. I just contacted hostgator support chat and they solved issue.

    They are friendly so you shouldn't hesitate to ask them

      Istvan, I think it's less nonsense and more poor phrasing.

      I think rotten72 meant that the OP would need to use their own hosting rather than an account on wordpress.com.

      If he was suggesting that a dedicated server was required, you are spot on about it being nonsense...

    John,

    You are right. I shouldn't reply to posts before having my second coffee
