I lost the site I designed when I changed the domain name in Wordpress

Website URL

rainbow-ba.online

(please specify the URL of the site on which you are experiencing the problem)

Error Message

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Other Information

I designed two websites in wordpress with the domain (http://rainbowba.infinityfreeapp.com) I changed the domain in wordpress to (https://rainbow-ba.online) (my payed domain) and after that I installed the SSL certificates for both websites in infinityfree. After I went to both websites to access to wordpress and I can’t.

I just checked your domain name and it shows our default welcome page. There is no WordPress site on it as far as I can tell from the main page.

Please note that adding the domain name to your account requires some DNS changes, and while those are all done automatically, it can take up to 72 hours for them to be visible everywhere:

As for the WordPress site, know that your new domain name and your subdomain are assigned to different directories, so they will have different websites.

Either you need to move the website from your subdomain to your new domain, or setup a new WordPress site on your new domain.

Ok, the DNS it is already updated. Now I have another big problem, I reinstalled wordpress and I am trying to access to my old database to have my websites again, I am trying to access but it does not find the database. I dont know what to do

A good thing to remember for future reference: only install software on your website if you want a completely new website. Are you trying to migrate an existing website? Then do not install anything. Installing means you didn’t link the old data directly, and continuing anyway may result in your old website being overwritten.

But that’s a bit late now probably. So now we need to see if it’s possible to recover your old website.

What do you mean by this exactly? What do you see?
