Why my domain gets translated to ip address in the browser url bar?

Posted on January 31, 2017

My domain name: knowledgethurst.com

namespace is set to

ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com

I have created A Record with

knowledgethurst.com with points to my digitalocean server address.

But when I try to access knowledgethurst.com it gets translated to ip address into browser window.

Can anyone please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks…

My first thought is that in your WordPress General Settings, you’ve set an IP address instead of your domain name.
