Hello. <br> <br>Updating the DNS records can take up to an hour as GoDaddy mentions it. <br>So, you need to take this time-frame into account as well. <br>Also, make sure you’ve changed both <br>‘WordPress Address (URL)’ and ‘Site Address (URL)’ <br>settings under the WP Settings/General page. <br> <br>Hope it helps, <br>Denis Rendler

I did both and now cant login into the admin panel. It asks for username and password. after inputting that t just stays there

How do you access your admin panel, thru your domain name or IP address?
