Can’t access WordPress via BlueHost after domain name change.

[ad_1]

Hi guys,

I’m trying (in vain) to build a personal site. I purchased my domain through Google Domains, then chose BlueHost as my hosting service, and logged into WordPress through their integration there.

I noticed that WordPress was only updating a temp domain, [http://*box*\###.*temp*.*domains*](http://box###.temp.domains) format. I followed a few guides and added the following lines to wp-config.php:

define(‘WP\_SITEURL’, ‘[https://www.example.com](https://www.sabrinadesilva.com)’);

define(‘WP\_HOME’, ‘[https://www.example.com](https://www.sabrinadesilva.com)’);

(replacing example with my own domain name).

​

After making this change, I could no longer log into WordPress from BlueHost. I contacted support and they said that my DNS A record needed to be updated on the Google side. I don’t know if this was the right move, but I added a custom A record to the DNS page on Google Domains. BlueHost support tells me my domain is in DNS propagation, but I’m not sure adding that A record was the fix anyway… Any support or ideas would be appreciated. I’m literally having more success with GitHub right now. Surely it isn’t this hard.
