    Check your godaddy nameservers
    Goto your domain control panel & under nameservers change it to GoDaddy namesever names. Thats it.

    Here are the steps for a domain registered with a registrar other than godaddy.

    1. login to the registrar and change the name servers to the go dady name servers.

    2. wait to let the change propogae (depending on the registrar)

    3. login in to go daddy and click on My Account --> then under domains related click on Offsite DNS Management and create the zones for the domain that you need to manage.
    you will need to know where you are hosting you web (word press) to create the A records or CNAME entry
